Situated on the northern shores of the River Tay, Dundee is known as the "City of Discovery." Named after the RRS Discovery, the ship that took Captain Scott to Antarctica is at the city's waterfront development.
The V&A Dundee is the first design museum and the only V&A museum in the UK outside of London, located on the waterfront beside the RRS Discovery. The Contemporary Arts Centre and the McManus Galleries are worth visiting. Dundee Law is an extinct volcanic hill and one of the most prominent natural landmarks, providing breathtaking views of the city and beyond.
Dundee's location makes it a perfect starting point for exploring nearby attractions. It is only a short drive from the historic city of Perth, the renowned golf destination of St Andrews, and the picturesque seaside town of Broughty Ferry. Or break up your journey to Aberdeen by stopping in Dundee. Each place offers a distinct experience, from Perth's significant history and architecture to St Andrews' the Home of Golf and Broughty Ferry's beautiful castle and sandy shores.
