Mayfield Playing Fields

Mayfield Playing Fields, in Dundee, Scotland, is one of the sports grounds for the High School of Dundee and the home ground of rugby clubs Dundee High Rugby and its junior side, Dundee Eagles. It is situated 1.5 miles from the city centre, on Arbroath Road. Mayfield was formerly part of the grounds of Mayfield House, a mansion designed by Peddie and Kinnear and owned by William Dalgleish: by the 1880s, he had purchased the land to the east of his house from Robert McGavin of Ballumbie. The Dundee College of Education was established in 1906 after the St Andrews Provincial Committee for the Training of Teachers decided to locate in the city, and Mayfield House was acquired at a reduced price in 1912 as a hostel for women students (later becoming mixed-sex).By 1921, the playing fields had been laid out, and a clubhouse built, for a University Recreation Ground. In 1975 a new home was built for the College in West Ferry, and the High School purchased the recreation ground and sports facilities: the halls of residence remained for some years, before they were demolished for new housing. The School was thus able to supplement its existing recreation grounds at Dalnacraig, which lie almost directly across Arbroath Road, and vacate the grounds they had occupied since 1959 at Monymusk Park.Mayfield Sports Centre was opened in June 2006 at a cost of £3.2 million, comprising a large sports hall, gymnasium, dance studio, fitness centre and classroom areas, enhancing the facilities available to the school; it is also available for use by the wider community.

Pitkerro

Pitkerro is an area in the eastern part of Dundee, Scotland, immediately west of Douglas and south of Fintry and Whitfield. Areas of Pitkerro include Kingsway East, Linlathen, Mid Craigie, Milton of Craigie and Drumgieth. Pitkerro House was remodelled and relandscaped by Robert Lorimer in 1902.Pitkerro once had four schools, three primary and one secondary. The oldest, St Saviour's RC High School, closed in June 2008 due to decreasing pupil numbers and merged with Lawside Academy at the start of the 2008/9 school year to form St. Paul's Academy. Mosgiel Primary School and Mid Craigie Primary School merged at the start of the 2009/10 year to form Rowantree Primary School, a purpose-built school constructed in 2008. Pitkerro's other school, St. Vincent's RC Primary School was amalgamated with St Luke's & St Matthew's RC Primary School in 2018 to form St. Francis RC Primary School and is now located in the new North East Campus building on Lothian Crescent along with Longhaugh Primary School and Quarryview Nursery. Together, Pitkerro, Kirkton and Hilltown contain 31% of Dundee's enumeration districts which fall within the worst 10% of deprived districts in Scotland.In 1998, a Mecca Bingo hall opened in the Douglasfield area of Pitkerro with an Odeon Cinema opening two years later. Pitkerro has two major Supermarkets, Morrisons in Linlathen, and a 24-hour Asda in Milton of Craigie. The area is served by Dundee bus routes 15a, 15c and 17 operated by Xplore Dundee and 360 operated by Moffat & Williamson.
