Living in Dundee
Area Guide
On the East coast of Scotland in the historic county of Angus, Dundee sits on the northern bank of the Firth of Tay, 40 miles north of Edinburgh. The Law rises above its skyline and the Magdalen Green Bandstand is its most iconic landmark. With one of the UK’s highest student populations, a thriving waterfront and a milder, drier climate than the west coast, it offers a confident, well-connected city in which to put down roots.

History & Heritage
Dundee's natural harbour on the Tay made it a thriving trading port from the 12th century, and a major shipbuilding centre in the 19th, when the RRS Discovery was launched here. The city later became the world's biggest producer of jute cloth, its textile mills closely tied to a busy whaling industry.
