Since moving here from Belfast in 2007, I'd say I've grown to feel at home in Dundee. I would still say I prefer Belfast but Dundee's a grand wee place too. The main criticisms I have about it are vandalism and dangerous drug takers or "jakies/gadgies" as they say locally. I live in the Lochee area so I know about this. I am a grown man of 19 and I have on more than one occasion felt "watched" as I was coming along the street after 8pm. The number of young people smoking is extraordinary. The number of very young mums (about 15 I'd say) is pretty common here. In Belfast it's kinda similar but I have to say you really notice it in Dundee. For a small ..  Read the complete review

Dundee...Shopping Dundee is one of Scotlands largest cities. It also has it's fair share of shops. Which range from small independant retailers to large chain stores. The shopping areas in Dundee are spread over different areas. You have 2 shopping malls. The Wellgate Centre and The Overgate Centre. The Wellgate Centre It has had a couple of revamps over the past 30 years but could maybe do with a bit of a spring clean. It has BHS which is probably the biggest shop in the centre along with TGHughs. I would say about 60% of the centre is occupied by shop outlets. Shops are spread over 3 levels. It also has its oven car park linked to ...  Read the complete review

I have listed a variety of points about my home town, hopefully there's something relivant to everyone. Dundee was the home port of the Antarctic exploration ship RRS Discovery, the historic vessel which took Captain Robert Scott to Antarctica. Hence Dundee's slogan - "City of Discovery" The Mills Observatory on Dundee's Balgay Hill is Britain's only full-time public observatory. (I've not visited for a while but have fond memories of a neat electronic model of the solar system) The "Law" (the hill around which Dundee is built) is a dormant volcanoe. It provides a great view of Dundee, the River Tay ...  Read the complete review

I've decided to give an unbiased view on my home city,Dundee the city of discovery as it is appropriately called as it is home of the H.M.S Discovery captained by Captain Scott on his Arctic adventures.Along with the Discovery there is another boat nearby called the Frigate Unicorn which i beleive is the only floating Frigate in the U.K at least. Both these attractions can be visited by the public.I have personally never visited any of them but the Discovery is said to be well a worth a visit.Nearby the Discovery beside the 'Silvery Tay' (which actually does look silver in the sunlight until you approach it and it is actually sadly a black/green ...  Read the complete review
