Believed to have been presented to the University by Patrick Geddes
Geddes's most ambitious plan in Dundee was his proposal for a Botanic Garden at the west end of Magdalen Green. The plan was never realised, but the University's Botanic Garden eventually opened to the public further along Perth Road in 1971.
