THE FACTORY, DUNDEE | S2E05 - BOARD TO DEATH - A SCOTTISH SKATEBOARDING PODCAST
The Factory was quite literally - a factory. An unused building were in the 80s a group of skateboarders from the city of Dundee made their home away or home or in some cases by the sounds of it, just their home.
The Factory would go on to become one of the most iconic locations in Scottish skateboarding and went through four different versions all the way through to today. We're joined by OGs Rick Curran and Ray Dower who are telling some of their favourite stories from the era thirty years later.
For more on The Factory check out the links below. Thanks to Rick Curran for sharing and keeping all of this for so long:

HISTORY OF SCOTTISH SKATEBOARDING VOL. 1 - JAMIE BLAIR + RAY DOWER S2E01
Yes, we are back with a brand new season of skate knowledge and nonsense.
There was no better way to kick the season off by sitting down with the founder and owner of Scotland’s oldest skate shop, Jamie Blair who has ran Clan Skates in Glasgow’s west end since 1987. Joining Jamie is long time shredder and artist Ray Dower.
In this episode, we’re looking at some big moments from Scotland’s rich skate history from Kelvingrove Skatepark being built in 1977, all the way through to the mid 1990s. Scotland’s big hitter John Rattray also drops in with a special message for his mentor and long time friend Jamie.
Let us know if there’s anything you want to hear about on the new season and your thoughts on the episode down below. We’ll back with a Vol. 2 very soon.
