Dundee is located on the mouth of the River Tay, along the eastern coast of Scotland. Despite its development, this city of approximately 143,000 inhabitants exudes a cosy village-like ambience.
Dundee has a temperate climate. Summers are quite warm, compared to the rest of Scotland, with the temperatures going even higher than 25°C. Winters are mild, except for the occasional strong winds; it is the wettest time of the year.
Dundee is popularly known as the ‘City of Discovery’. This is due to two reasons: one, a large number of scientific explorations has taken place here, and two, RRS Discovery, the great ship used to explore the Antarctic, was built here.
Historically, Dundee was known as the city of ‘jute, jam and journalism’ as these were the three industries that led to its rapid growth.
