Overview

Dundee rests snuggly on the banks of the Tay River on Scotland's East Coast. The dramatic landscape is a diverse mix of mountains, rolling hills, and shoreline. The economic base is just as varied. This former whaling port has become a center for journalism, high-tech manufacturing, commercial research, and information technology. With its strategic location on the North Sea, Dundee is a convenient base from which to make forays to Edinburgh, Aberdeen, and Glasgow. The city also boasts youthful vitality, thanks to 20,000-plus students at two universities, two colleges, and a research institute. Points of interest include the award-winning Discovery Point, the Verdant Works Jute Museum, the Mills Observatory in Balgay Park, and the imposing Dundee Law, which is a 570-foot volcanic peak. To refresh the spirit, try a bottle of locally brewed Discovery Ale.
