Loons Road, which runs from Strathmartine Road to Logie Street, Lochee, is a corrupted form of "the Loan," or hedged-in lane of former times. It was on the estate of the Scrymgeoures of Dudhope, and is frequently mentioned in early chapters of that family as a boundary when parts of the land were sold.
