Discovering the City of Discovery - a two day whistle-stop tour of Dundee Scotland

Join me on a tour of Dundonian delights as I explore the attractions both well and not so well-known! We'll visit ships, museums, statues, football stadiums and a whole lot more. Why not come along and see what Scotland's 4th largest city has to offer.

Big THANK YOU to Eric Gudmunsen for allowing to use his song in the video! Love it😁

I've never been to Dundee, and now I must go. When I was a boy growing up in London I used to love going to look at 'Discovery' when she was moored on the Embankment by Waterloo Bridge. It's good to see her so well looked after.

That bought back memories. I found Scots ship very interesting, and well preserved. Thank you .

Oh this was marvelous Steve thank you! I've only ever driven through Dundee about 15 year ago, so to see your video now in February 2024 will encourage me to go back. And get a proper Dundee cake! That charity shop was a Wow! As for the donuts? If there is one smell that reminds me of the seaside it's freshly made donuts! Walton on the Naze comes to mind. 😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇮🇪🙋

A fantastic tour of my hometown. Thanks very much for giving it the airing it deserves, Steve. I’m a long way from home these days, but it’s always great to see Dundee and its history in particular. Love your videos! 👌

The dragon statue is about the legend of the 9 maidens.. A farmer sent his daughter to get water from the well and she never returned so he sent his next daughter and she also never returned after they had all been sent and never came back he went to the well to look for them. He found them all dead with a dragon next to the well. He ran for help and the town people chased the dragon. A guy called Martin caught up and killed the dragon. There is a stone outside Dundee in a field that is said is where the dragon fell..

Thanks. Discovered your site recently and have been riveted ever since. Particularly grateful as I am not as active as I used to be and miss the days of wild adventure. You bring it to my desk. Cheers Steve.

I've been to Dundee a few times, but never actually discovered the Discovery. I've been missing out on something, so thanks for the fine video. I agree with your comments about the V&A. I visited the V&A last year when they hosted a dance club special exhibition, and although interesting enough, I felt they could have gone one step further. I felt the open spaces in the exhibition areas were used to 'pad-out' the displays, when in actual fact much more could have been included.

These videos are always fun to watch, even though I’m from Scotland it makes me very proud and you are class at showing all these amazing places. Hope to see you up in Aberdeen at some point

Steve,
Thanks for taking us along to showcase another outstanding Scottish city! Great video!

[lwhlwh]

just wanted to let you know, we visited Dundee today thanks to your Dundee video! Thanks! What a great place!

I studied abroad in Dundee from 1996-1997--it's one of my five favorite cities on the planet and not (just) for sentimental reasons. Thanks for this video and I can't wait for part two!

[biggles]

Love these videos Steve. I’ve been living abroad for over a year now and your videos transport me home. Thank you for your efforts❤️

[ozgirl]

Another wonderful video. Dundee looks really charming so thanks for taking us along!

[robbojax]

Loved it. I visited Discovery when it was moored on the Thames in London many moons ago. It looks in better shape now. Well done Dundee.

[brucie-of-bangor]

Dundee - home of flax, Beano, William McGonagall's dreadful poetry and Marmalade. Thanks for a really interesting look around, Steve; it's a "must visit" city. And I agree with your comment on the V&A, so many museums & galleries around the world devote far too much to restaurants and cafe's than to their core business; exhibits.

[ColinSlocombe]

For a very short time nice exhibition Steve 👌

[jenniferlevine]

What a wonderful town, as you say, packed with history. Thank you for the journey.
