A man has discovered a piece of graffiti left by his own father almost 60 years ago on a demolished Dundee University structure.
Derek Brankin spotted the “tag” left by his painter dad, Sandy, in December 1960 on the foundations of the recently- razed Microcentre building.
Derek, a computer systems officer at the university’s school of science and engineering, spotted his father’s name by chance.
He said: “I knew my father had worked on the Microcentre building when it was being built – he was a painter at the time – but he never told me he had left his mark!
“The area uncovered by the demolition has revealed a wall panel in the boiler room of the Microcentre where the ‘Branksy’ still sits to this day.”
Sandy, now 82, said: “I was painting there in December of 1960. I was only eight months married and was ‘payed-off’ on Hogmanay night. So I thought I’d leave a wee reminder.”
The building been demolished as part of a wider campus development.
