A young Robin Williams was a regular visitor to a Dundee cafe where he developed a love of lorne sausage and tattie scones.
The fledgling actor and comedian came to Scotland to appear at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
During the early 1970s, before Williams found fame in the sitcom Mork and Mindy, he became a well-known face at Hungry Mary’s cafe.
Phylis Dench recalled: “I worked in the dockyard cafe. He was in digs in the Stannergate. No one realised at the time how famous he would become.
“He was particularly fond of lorne sausage and tattie scones.
“It was local comedian Bobby Barty who invited the young Williams to the Windmill Bar in the Hilltown when he was performing.”
Another reader recalled bumping into Robin Williams while he was filming Popeye in Malta.
“We mentioned the Dundee connection to him and were surprised to hear that he knew of the city,” said the reader.
“We were even more surprised when he mentioned the Windmill Bar on Hilltown. It was, he said, a rough diamond, but full of characters.”
Dundee man Joe McKay said a chance encounter with the aspiring comedian showed his kind nature.
He said: “About 1971, I was regularly driving my lorry to Portobello Docks in Edinburgh. I gave a young man a lift from Perth Transport Cafe. It was Robin Williams.
“In return for the lift, Robin helped me unload two dozen cases of orange juice.”
