Dundee

Dundee – ‘one city, many discoveries’ – has transformed itself in recent years into a lively, cosmopolitan centre that’s an increasingly popular choice as a short city-break destination or for a great family day out. Once heavily industrialised, Dundee is developing exciting commercial, cultural, artistic, and scientific dimensions to advance into the 21st century.

The city centre is a shoppers’ paradise with the Murraygate, Wellgate and the magnificent glass-fronted Overgate shopping centre housing major department stores and retailers to suit all interests. The city’s burgeoning cultural quarter is home to the highly regarded Dundee Rep Theatre and Dundee Contemporary Arts Centre, while elsewhere, visitors can enjoy an impressive range of galleries and museums covering a wealth of subjects. There’s also a feast of major events throughout the year, including the annual summer festival of street entertainment and the city’s Guitar and Mountain Film Festivals. Dundee’s Food & Flower Festival, held in late August and September, is now the largest in Scotland.
