The Gowrie Park suburb was developed by local builders Bett Brothers in the 1970 and 80s and all homes are all privately owned.

The path of the railway can clearly be seen from above on Google Earth running directly behind Applecross Gardens and Peterburn Terrace.

The cycle path (former rail line) is part of the Dundee green route which provides access to the Technology Park, Ninewells Hospital, the Kingsway dual carriageway to the west and Charleston, a sports centre and shops to the east.

The majority of the children who live in Gowrie Park attend Tayview Primary School then go on to Harris Academy.

The Councillors are Alan Ross, Roisin Smith, (Scottish National Party), Charlie Malone, and Michael Marra, (Labour).
