What to see in Dundee

Dundee, Scotland’s vibrant city on the River Tay, offers a plethora of attractions, particularly near its bustling port. This city, known for its historical significance and recent cultural renaissance, provides visitors with a wide array of experiences, from historical explorations to modern art and science.

One of the city’s most iconic landmarks is the V&A Dundee, Scotland’s first design museum, and the only V&A museum anywhere in the world outside London. Located near the port, the museum is an architectural marvel in itself, designed by renowned Japanese architect Kengo Kuma. It resembles a ship pointing out to sea, paying homage to Dundee’s maritime heritage. The museum’s galleries host a range of exhibitions showcasing the best of design from Scotland and the wider world. It’s not just about the exhibits; the V&A Dundee is a space for learning and creativity, offering workshops, talks and performances. The museum also provides stunning views over the River Tay, making it a must-visit for anyone interested in design, architecture or just looking for a unique cultural experience.

Another significant attraction is the RSS Discovery, berthed at Dundee’s waterfront. This historic ship took explorers Captain Scott and Ernest Shackleton on their first expedition to Antarctica in 1901. Today, the ship serves as a museum, offering insight into the challenges faced by explorers during their voyage to the Antarctic. Visitors can explore the ship’s deck, cabins and engine room, getting a feel for early 20th-century maritime life. The adjoining Discovery Point Visitor Centre narrates the story of the ship and the expedition with interactive displays and multimedia exhibits, making it an educational and engaging experience for all ages.

For a change of pace, a short trip from the port area leads to the Dundee Law, a hill that offers panoramic views of the city and its surrounding landscapes. The Law, an extinct volcanic peak, is a significant landmark in Dundee and holds historical importance, having been the site of prehistoric settlements and later, defensive positions in various conflicts. The climb to the top of the Law is relatively easy and the reward is a breathtaking 360-degree view of Dundee, the River Tay and the distant hills of Fife. It’s a perfect spot for photographers, nature lovers or anyone looking to take a moment to appreciate the beauty of the city and its natural surroundings.
