Dundee, the City of Discovery lies on the northern shore of the Firth of Tay in the Middle Valley of East Scotland. In the middle ages, the town became established as a fishing, tradin

As a natural harbour, situated at the bottom of Dundee Law, an extinct volcano; the town’s shipping and manufacturing industries greatly prospered, and by the 19th century the Tay Bridge was built across the Firth of Tay to support these booming industries. During a severe storm the following year the centre part of the bridge collapsed while a train was crossing with great loss of life. The current rail bridge was completed in 1887, however parts of the original bridge are still visible.

For a long period Dundee gained the reputation as an area of depression but today has much to offer both visitors and those who live in the city. A number of castles occupy the area and are complimented by open countryside and a beautiful marina, and the museums,Royal Research Ship Discovery and HM Frigate Unicorn make a great day out for all.
