About Dundee
The city of Dundee lies on the banks of the River Tay on the south eastern coast of Scotland. Dundee grew wealthy as a result of the linen industry, and was a major port during the 19th century during which time the city became very cosmopolitan and developed much of the architecture that dominates the city centre to this day.
The most famous building in Dundee is no longer there. The old Tay bridge was destroyed in a famous storm, but it has been replaced by a new bridge which is impressive and a popular photographic site thanks to the views.
Thanks to its location as the gate way to the Scottish Lowlands, Dundee is a popular stop off for people on touring holidays around coastal Scotland, or travelling north towards the Cairngorms from Edinburgh.
It is of course the Cairngorms that draw so many people to Dundee during both the summer and winter, and booking car hire in Dundee will give you the opportunity to explore the region at your own pace. In summer, the Cairngorms are a fantastic area for hikers and campers who want to enjoy the peace and quiet of the mountains and experience the stunning views of the landscapes. In winter, the alpine conditions and terrain of the Cairngorms make them one of the best skiing destinations in Europe. Aviemore is well known for the range of slopes on offer, and the quality of the apres ski culture that the town has during the summer.
Dundee itself is well known as a refined and welcoming city that offers excellent cuisine. Dundee has a cake named after it, and one of the most popular activities for visitors is afternoon tea in the one of the traditional tea rooms in the heart of the city. It's a great way to take a break from shopping or exploring one of the small industrial museums that Dundee boasts.
Thanks to the proximity of the Cairngorms to Dundee, the city boasts a number of small galleries that specialise in landscape pictures of the region. Coming home with a painting or other piece of art is a great way to remember your time in Dundee.
