Dundee

Dundee - the City of Discovery: a modern and vibrant city with a rich history and proud traditions. Set by the River Tay on one of Europe's most impressive geographic locations, Dundee is a place where the future is being forged now. Massive advances in medicine and the development of electronic entertainment are achievements of a city and people famed for their innovation and invention.

A revitalised city centre and retail scene, the thriving Dundee Contemporary Arts centre, the impressive Ice Arena and a huge choice of leisure options symbolise a confident and optimistic city of the 21st century.
The City of Discovery is named after Captain Scott's famous Antarctic exploration vessel. The ship is now berthed in the city and has been central to the setting of a new course for Dundee.

And Dundee is well endowed with parks, leisure facilities and other recreational facilities. There are opportunities to do anything associated with mountains and water such as hill-walking, sailing, water-skiing, angling (the salmon and trout of the Dee, Tay, Don and Spey are world-renowned), canoeing, white water rafting, pony-trekking, off-road driving, rock-climbing, snow and ice climbing, and skiing. Many other sporting activities include cycling (there is a cycle route through the environs of the city), gliding, parachuting, falconry, tennis and golf (the area has numerous championship courses, including the British Open Course at Carnoustie, and nearby St Andrews).
