Historic Dundee
Dundee is the third largest city in Scotland with a population of around 150,000. Up until the recent past it was known as the city of ‘jute, jam and journalism’. With the passing of the textile industry and the decline of engineering, it is now attempting to re-invent itself as the city of Discovery and is gathering a reputation in the fields of computer gaming, and research and development in science and medicine. However, Dundee’s greatest assets are undoubtedly the people of the city and the rich and deep history of a place which has provided the backdrop to some of the most dramatic events in Scotland ’s turbulent past.
