Dundee is situated beside a broad estuary of the River Tay surrounded by hills and farmland. The Tay road and rail bridges over the estuary provide a striking introduction to the city: you round a bend and suddenly the city is spread out before you in a wide panorama. The city is dominated by the basalt plug of an extinct volcano, called Dundee Law. If you climb the 571 feet you will be rewarded with fantastic views of the city and its surroundings. Dundee is south-facing and is Scotland's sunniest city. The climate is mild and snowfalls are rare. The traditions of culture of city, country and coastal life, sit easily alongside each other. Find yourself in the midst of beautiful unspoilt scenery, where rugged coastlines brace themselves against the North Sea, and gentle rolling foothills run into the eastern edge of the Cairngorm National Park. Challenge yourself with a world-class championship golf that is in a class of its own, and discovery an abundance of other opportunities to walk, cycle, fish or simply experience the changing seasons in wide-open spaces. Absorb yourself in first-rate visitor attractions; and celebrate Scotland's heritage and culture from its early roots through to the present day.
