Wormit Boating Club Boathouse
Wormit Boating Club Boathouse
The remains of the old Wormit Boating Club boathouse and their slipway. The club moved their base to Woodhaven in 1969, after which the boathouse here gradually fell into disrepair. In its heyday it was the centre of much water-based activity. This photograph probably dates from 1990s.

Sad picture. The boats housed in the club were beautiful carvel built wooden boats and were true works of art. Over the river Dundee Corinthians boating club had a four oar with moving seats which was unbeatable of course and I think it was eventually banned from the regattas. We used to swim off the pier between the boating club slip and the bridge. I recall Tiz McKay, a Wormit worthy, swallow diving off the highest part of the pier wearing a white swimming costume, a sight to behold. I knew of only one boy, Colin Milne, who could throw a stone from the beach over the bridge which was a really admirable feat.
