Discovery

 DUNDEE

Welcome to Dundee - the City of Discovery. A liveable, affordable, friendly city in an ideal location at the mouth of the mighty River Tay on Scotland's east coast, mid-way between Edinburgh and Aberdeen. A city enjoying easy access to Scotland's centres of population, but with some of the most beautiful and unspoilt countryside to be found anywhere right on its doorstep. Small wonder that new businesses, tourists and the international conference trade are discovering.

Dundee in ever increasing numbers. The city boasts a revitalised city centre, one of the largest pedestrianised areas of any major city , excellent entertainment and sporting facilities, and a world-class visitor attraction in Discovery Point - where you can clamber over Captain Scott's Antarctic research ship and relive his dramatic attempt to each the South Pole in the early 1900s.

The ship is the 'Discovery', built in Dundee, and she has become synonymous with the spirit of the city. In Dundee you can discover everything from Desperate Dan to the latest medical research, from some of Scotland's best golf courses to Dundee cake!

 SCOTLAND

Scotland is divided into three main regions; the Highlands, the Midland Valley and the Southern Uplands.The cities of Edinburgh, Glasgow and Dundee together with numerous towns, most of the population and the majority of Scotland's industry is located within the Midland Valley. This broad valley averages 50 miles across and runs WSW to ENE across the centre of the country. It is geologically distinct from the surrounding regions, being composed of Devonian Old Red Sandstone peppered with ancient volcanoes, as against the older sedimentary rocks forming the Southern Uplands or the ancient metamorphic melange, comprising the Highlands to the north.
