Colourised picture of Princess Grace of Monaco arriving at Tannadice for Dundee Utd v AS Monaco in the UEFA Cup, 30th Sept 1981.
In 1981, the princely couple flew into Scotland to stay with friends in Meigle before travelling to watch Monaco’s UEFA Cup tie against Dundee United at Tannadice on September 30.
