LOST: Paintings near V&A Dundee
This afternoon, around 2:45 PM, I was strolling along the River Tay by the V&A Dundee's riverside entrance when two framed paintings slipped from under my arm. One shows a sunset over the water, the other a misty harbor scene with gulls. I paused to check directions at the riverside cafe, and when I turned back, they were gone. I’m unsettled because those works were gifts and remind me of a trip with my grandmother. If anyone saw them, I’d be grateful they’ve turned up.
Lost wrist watches in Dundee, United Kingdom
Yesterday at 2:15 PM I realized my wrist watches were missing from my jacket pocket while strolling Dundee City Centre. I had started at the McManus Galleries and wandered toward V&A Dundee along Riverside Drive, pausing at Slessor Gardens to check my map. There are two watches: one with a silver face and a light-blue dial, the other with a black leather strap and a white face. They were gifts from my dad and carry years of small memories; losing them feels like losing a piece of home, and I’d be grateful if someone found them and kept them safe until I can collect them near the river.
lost utensils from my kitchen after Monday dinner in Dundee.
At 7:42 p.m. last Friday I was tidying the kitchen in my flat on Perth Road when I realized my utensils had vanished from the drawer. The set is small but dear to me—a dented wooden spoon, a chipped metal whisk, and a faded red spatula I inherited from my gran. I checked the shelves and even searched around Baxter Park, but nothing turned up. Those pieces are tied to quiet Sunday roasts and late-night recipes that keep me company in this flat. If you saw them around the Overgate Centre area, please keep an eye out.
Lost scarves near Overgate Centre, Dundee
Isla MacLeod here. I lost a pair of scarves on Saturday around 4:15 pm while walking from Dundee railway station toward the Overgate Centre. The scarves are sentimental: one is charcoal wool with a simple fringe, the other is pale blue knitted with tiny paisley patterns; they’re both thin but warm enough for an autumn wind. They were a gift from my grandmother, and I wore them almost daily. I checked the escalators and the bus stops outside the Overgate, but they’ve vanished into the crowd. If anyone spots them draped over a bench or left behind in a shop, please keep them safe. They mean a lot to me.
Found travel bags near V&A Dundee
I found these travel bags on a bench outside the V&A Dundee along the Riverside Walk at about 8:15 this morning. There’s a black duffel and a blue roller bag, both a bit scuffed from rough travel but intact. I gave them a quick check for a tag or wallet, but nothing turned up, so I left them where they were and posted here in case the owner is looking. If you recognize them or know who they belong to, please get in touch through the site so they can be reunited with their owner.

lost: My shoes near Albert Square, Dundee
I was hurrying to catch the bus at the Nethergate stop in Dundee this afternoon, around 3:10 PM, when I kicked off my old black leather shoes to re-tie them and must have sent one rolling away. It disappeared into the gravel by the bus shelter near Albert Square, just outside the McManus Galleries. They’re simple black leather trainers with white soles and a small scuff on the left toe. I’ve worn them for years and they’ve seen me through a lot, and I’m anxious about not having them for the next shift.
Found sports equipment near V&A Dundee
On Tuesday, around 4:15 p.m., I was walking along Riverside Walk by the V&A Dundee when I spotted a big, weather-stained bag stuffed with assorted sports gear: a football, two tennis rackets, a water bottle, and a dusty gym bag. I checked for a name tag, but nothing obvious. It looked like someone had left it behind after a weekend game by the river. I carried it to the City Council’s lost-and-found desk and explained what I found, hoping its owner would recover it soon. It felt like the right thing to do, and I didn’t want those items to go wandering again.

Lost brooches near the V&A Dundee
I was strolling along the Dundee Waterfront after a chilly evening stroll, and around 6:15 pm yesterday I realized my brooches had vanished from my coat pocket. I must have brushed past a railing near the V&A Dundee during a quick photo stop of the river. They’re a small pair: one silver with a blue stone, the other brass with a tiny fleur-de-lis. Losing them hit me hard—the memories they carry from my gran’s jewelry box suddenly felt far away in the salty Dundee air. If someone picked them up, I’d be grateful to have them back where they belong.
Lost postcards in Dundee
Yesterday at 11:20 a.m., I was walking along Commercial Street toward the V&A Dundee when I realized my postcards from our Glasgow trip were missing from my tote. They’re a neat stack of cream cards, some with seaside photos, tied with a faded blue ribbon. My grandmother used to send me cards from every holiday, and losing them feels like a piece of home slipping away. If you found a stray bundle near the V&A Dundee or along the Dundee Waterfront, please report it here on the site through me.
Found radios near V&A Dundee
I was walking along Dock Street by the river at 7:25 p.m. last Friday when I spotted two radios resting on a bench near the V&A Dundee. The cases are dusty from rain, with a couple of stickers from a local community club on the back. One has a small dent in the corner, the other’s dial sticks a little when you turn it, but both seem to still work. I picked them up and dropped them at the security desk just inside City Square, hoping they’ll find their way back to whoever owns them. It felt right to pick them up and not leave them out in the elements.
Lost Dundee Fringe Festival ticket stub
I lost my printed Dundee Fringe Festival ticket stub yesterday around 3pm. It's a white card with a blue header and the event logo, about the size of a credit card, with a small tear at the bottom-right corner. The text lists Caird Hall, North Street, and the show title, plus a seat note like Section B, Row 12, Seat 14, with a partially visible barcode on the back. I was wandering near the Wellgate area and probably dropped it along North Street outside the Caird Hall while juggling my umbrella. It has sentimental value because my friend bought it for me as a belated birthday gift, and I would really appreciate getting it back if found.
Navy parka with faux fur hood found in Dundee
I found a navy parka jacket with a faux fur hood this afternoon around 2:15pm along Riverside Walk near the V&A Dundee. It's a mid-length coat, a bit worn at the cuffs but still warm, with two large front pockets and a bright orange lining that peeks out when I unzip it. The hood has a light brown faux fur trim, and there's a small inner pocket with faint initials 'AS' stitched on the tag—that's the most unique detail I can spot. It looks recently worn and seems to have sentimental value, maybe a gift or favorite winter coat. If this sounds like yours, mention the initials on the inner tag to verify.
Leopard gecko found near V&A Dundee
I found a leopard gecko this afternoon around 3:15pm, dashing along the sun-warmed pavement by Riverside Drive outside the V&A Dundee. It's about 4 inches long from snout to tail, yellow-tan with bold brown spots, and the tail is a touch lighter at the tip. There’s a small white patch under its chin and a tiny scar on the base of its left hind toe from a shed. It seemed a bit stressed but otherwise healthy, so I kept it in a ventilated tote with a soft towel to stay nearby and calm it. If this sounds like yours, please share a distinctive detail about your gecko (name, coat pattern, or that toe scar) so we can confirm and arrange a safe handover near the boardwalk by the V&A Dundee.
