Local men from the Carse of Gowrie and District (Scotland) formed a steering group and set up a Men’s Shed which is currently based in Swan House, Technology Park, Dundee (See bottom of this page for links to a map).
We have a video on YouTube describing our shed.
We also have a YouTube video taken at our open day on 25th March 2017

Another short video on YouTube was taken at our 'Models Open Day' on 10th March 2018.
The Men’s Shed is an idea which originated in Australia, to create somewhere men can call their own, where they can spend time with other men sharing skills, knowledge and interests in a relaxed environment.
Men’s sheds provide a place for men to gather and participate in a variety of activities whilst supporting each other.
The concept is now starting to take off in Scotland so if you or someone you know would like to be involved in this exciting project or to find out more about the “Carse of Gowrie and District Men’s Shed”

The Men’s Shed project is supported by Perth and Kinross Healthy Communities Collaborative joint partners with NHS Tayside and Perth and Kinross Council, Scotland.
If any other group is interested in setting up a Men's Shed in their own area we are happy to give you advice based on our own experience.
