Welcome to Dundee
Scotland’s fourth largest city (after Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen) has a spectacular location, facing south across the silvery, two mile wide expanse of the Firth of Tay, which opens into the North Sea some 10 miles east of the city centre. Two equally spectacular bridges traverse the Tay, connecting Dundee with Fife. The city is the gateway to the pocket wilderness of the Cairngorm Highlands and the Angus Glens, the world-famous salmon fishing of the upper Tay, and a plethora of historic attractions which span more than 2000 years of Scotland’s history. It’s also the gateway to the legendary golf courses of St Andrews and Carnoustie, each of which is around 14 miles from the city.
