Almost 110 years ago an American legend came to Dundee.
He visited for three days, as part of a near-three-month tour around Scotland that was enjoyed by more than 500,000 people.
His name was William F. Cody but you will know him better by his iconic epitaph, Buffalo Bill.
Now some of the last remaining items from this legendary tour are going on sale at an auction house in Cincinnati, Ohio.

And Dundee features prominently among the lots, with auctioneers selling six black and white photographs of Buffalo Bill standing in front of his giant tent during the time of his show at Dundee’s Esplanade Extension.
“Buffalo Bill’s 1904 tour was really something,” said Matt Chapman, a specialist from the American history department at Cowan’s auction house, where the photos are being sold.
“He brought a huge show with him to Scotland 200 horses and 100 Indians. They even had their own train to move them around the country.
“The show itself was a re-enactment of the legend of the wild west. They’d have an attack on a stagecoach, a buffalo hunt.
“The Indians would attack a female and Buffalo Bill would rescue her.
“The tour was incredibly popular. We think at least 500,000 people would have seen it, which is even more remarkable when you think Scotland only had around four million people at that time.
“It was a huge show.”
The photos are some of the last items to be released for sale by Bill’s great-granddaughter and are expected to fetch a good price at auction.
Mr Chapman believes that $600-$800 per photo is a fair estimate, although they could go for more.
While only one of the images bears the mark of Dundee photographer S.W. Pritchard, Mr Chapman believes all of the pictures lots 31-37 at the auction were taken in the city.
He said: “Only one image has the imprint of the Dundee photographer but I believe that, given the similarities, they are probably all taken in Dundee or nearby.
“We’re expecting a lot of interest. We are having a live bid on January 31 at 10am EST but people can also place bids online or over the phone.
“We regularly get bids from the UK and I have already seen some bids on these items which are certainly from the UK and maybe from Scotland,” Mr Chapman added.
