These photographs capture life in Dundee in 1985.
It was a notably cold year overall with frequent frosts and snowfalls.
Cold days need warm hearts.
Dundonians were raising money and giving generous support following a £1.5m public appeal to fund the first CAT scanner for Ninewells Hospital.
The CAT scanner would stop patients having to travel 60-80 miles.
Dundee also supported the Live Aid appeal on behalf of famine-stricken Ethiopians.
Bob Geldof organised the fundraising concerts in London and Philadelphia.
But how many people remember Lochee Live Aid?
The event took place at Lochee United’s Thomson Park ground with 2,500 fans and 22 bands including headline act Strawberry Switchblade.
The money raised was presented to comedian Billy Connolly in November after he performed at the Caird Hall to 2,680 fans in aid of the Live Aid appeal.
It was also the year where Back to the Future catapulted a young Michael J Fox to global stardom in a DeLorean, and EastEnders was shown for the first time.

Some of these photographs have not been seen for years.

The money would cover the cost of the scanner and running expenses for 10 years.

Such was the scheme’s success that it was repeated in 1986.
Dundee Marathon
April showers were in full flow as runners from across the country headed to the city to compete in the Dundee Marathon in April 1985.
