He may have been born in Edinburgh but Dundee is the city where William Topaz McGonagall's work flourished. A handloom weaver by trade he is world renowned for his disjointed poetry that simply doesn't scan.

Whether he was an ingenious buffoon or a shrewd entertainer (McGonagall extracted fees of between 5 and 10/- (50p) from the crowds who gleefully attended his public humiliations) is open to debate. Whatever the case, one cannot fail to admire McGonagall's eternal optimism-this is the man who walked from Dundee to Balmoral to present a volume of his treasured verse to his beloved Queen Victoria only to be told at the gates of the castle to go away.
