DUNDEE has been named the most underrated city to visit in Scotland, thanks to attractions like watersports in the quay and Scotland’s first design museum.
Travel guide creator Peter Naldrett, who has visited all 76 cities in the UK, raved about Dundee.

The city’s waterfront has undergone a major revamp in recent years[/caption]
The Sheffield-based writer says Dundee, with its 150,000 residents, more than holds its own as a city break destination against the likes of Edinburgh and Glasgow.
Peter, who wrote the book Bright Lights, Big Cities, told Sun Online Travel: “Dundee is the most underrated city in Scotland for tourists to visit, thanks to its brilliant museums.
“Not only is it the birthplace of famous comic books like The Beano and Dandy, it’s also home to the ship that took Shackleton to Antarctica.
“Dundee has a really nice feel thanks to its river and waterfront where there are loads of attractions to keep families entertained.”
Must-see museums
The Discovery Point is a TripAdvisorTravellers‘ Choice Award Winner and one of the city’s top attractions.
Inside the sprawling museum, visitors will be able to learn about the history of whaling and explore Royal Research Ship Discovery, the vessel Ernest Shackleton and Captain Scott used to sail to Antarctica.
The 123-year-old ship underwent a £1.4million conservation project to keep the historic vessel well-preserved for future generations.
Entry tickets into the Discovery Point cost £17 for a full-paying adult and £9.50 for kids.
Dundee Science Centre is another TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Award Winner.
Home to interactive exhibits and immersive experiences there’s enough to keep the entire family entertained.
There’s also V&A Dundee, which is thought to be the “flagship of the city’s regeneration”.
Located in the heart of Dundee’s redeveloped waterfront, V&A Dundee became Scotland’s first design museum when it opened in 2018.
Free to enter, visitors will be able to learn about the history of Scottish design as well as making the most of the family-friendly drop-in sessions.

Watersports and waterparks
Not only does the Scottish city sing about its history but it also makes the most of its river and quay, offering a whole host of activities and attractions for its visitors.
One of those is Wild Shore Dundee, a water-based adventure hub with an aqua park, stand-up paddleboarding and open water city.
For those who prefer to keep their feet on the ground, Alastair Derrick is a tour guide who runs Dundee Waterfront Walks.
Lasting for 75 minutes, Alastair takes visitors for a short walk along the waterfront while detailing 400 million years of Dundee’s history.
There’s also the Olympia, a leisure centre that underwent a £6million refurb.
What's it like to visit Dundee?
Writer Janice Hopper explored Dundee back in 2023, here’s what she thought about the underrated city.
EXPECT volcanic views, great fashion and Scottish salami in Dundee.
Take a 30-minute cycle along the waterfront to Broughty Ferry for indie fashion shops like Scandi-inspired Lulu & M, colourful Bella Mella and chic Prego Boutique.
The fascinating Verdant Works museum – home to the city’s huge 19th-century jute production – tells of how Dundee got its “She Town” nickname. Entry costs £14 per adult (Verdantworks.co.uk).
Later, dine at Daisy Tasker, a bistro dedicated to a local mill girl who also loved organising work socials.
Opt for duck liver parfait with Dundee marmalade, £5.95, and hake with red lentil dal curry, £16.50.
Pick up cracking Scottish cheese at The Cheesery, such as buttery Wee Comrie and tastier-than-it-sounds Minger (Thecheesery.co.uk).
Then, nab unique gifts like T-Rex earrings crafted by local makers at Maisy & Mac (Maisieandmac.com).
Tea aficionados shouldn’t miss J A Braithwaite, where tins of tea and coffee line the walls (Facebook.com/J.A.Braithwaite).
In addition to the usual indoor pools, the Dundee-based leisure centre also has a rapid river and four flume rides, including the Cannonball, which has a 3.8m drop into the water.
For younger holidaymakers, there’s also a toddler pool with a water play structure, a water wall, tipping buckets, a water cannon and a water slide.
Nearby there’s also Broughty Ferry Beach, which is nestled beneath a historic castle in the former fishing village of Broughty Ferry.
Home to the Beano and the Dandy, statues of the famous comic book characters are dotted throughout Dundee[/caption]
Outdoor experiences
There are plenty of activities and attractions that are away from the water, including Dundee Botanic Garden.
Spanning across 9.5 hectares, the garden is home to a wide range of plants and shrubs as well as tropical glasshouses, a water garden and a herb garden.
There’s also Balnuith Alpacas, which is located on the very edge of Dundee.
The Scottish farm is home to rare breeds of farm animals like Miniature Mediterranean Donkeys, Falabella Miniature Horses, Poitou Donkeys, Guanacos and often newborn babies.
Fans of the Beano and Dandy will want to take photos next to the statues of famous comic book characters like Dennis the Menace, Desperate Dan and Minnie the Minx.
Head to the High Street to get started, with other statues on Albert Square.

Food and drink
Scotland’s most underrated city is home to plenty of pubs here adults can sink a pint – and kids are welcome.
One of those places is Tickety Boo’s, a traditional boozer that serves a range of hearty meals.
There’s also The Fisherman’s Tavern, located just a stone’s throw from the waterfront and housed in a row of 17th-century cottages, it’s the perfect calling point for a day at the waterfront.
Gidi Grill serves West African and Caribbean Cuisine and is one of Dundee’s top restaurants.
Other top-rated spots include Wee Mexico, Agacan and Rancho Pancho.
A short history of Dundee
DUNDEE’S origins can be traced all the way back to the Pictish Period (300 to 900 AD), when it was known as Alectum.
The city was later renamed Dundee by the Gaelic-speaking Scots.
During the medieval period, the Scottish city became an important trading port.
The city’s status really grew during the Industrial Revolution, when it became known as the global centre for jute production, earning Dundee the nickname Juteopolis.
Dundee’s economy diversified even more in the 20th century thanks to significant developments in the fields of biomedical and technological research.
Nowadays, the city is undergoing a period of regeneration, with lots of investment being pumped into cultural projects like V&A Dundee.
Last week, Peter explained why Brits should visit Salford – tiny cultural powerhouse on the outskirts of Greater Manchester.

2 days agoWorld LeaksComments Off on Top 10 most memorable Premier League moments ever revealed from Eric Cantona’s kung fu kick to Leicester title win
THE PREMIER LEAGUE has had some incredibly memorable moments since its inception in 1992.
The competition replaced the old First Division and was made up of the teams that competed in it.
The Premier League has produced some iconic moments since its inception in 1992[/caption]
England’s top flight has grown immensely since the 90s and is now one of the highest-rated in the world.
The Premier League has featured some of the best players and teams of the last 30 years in world football, earning it a reputation like no other across Europe.
Manchester United are still the most successful club in the new era with an astounding 13 titles won.
While there has also been some brilliant teams assembled in more recent years such as the Manchester City side that earned 100 points in the 2017/18 season.
Arsenal‘s “Invincibles” that won the title unbeaten in 2003/04 remain one of a kind in Prem history.
Here are the top 10 moments since the Premier League began…
10. Liverpool 4 Newcastle 3 in April 1996
Liverpool and Newcastle are among the most passionately supported clubs in the country, and when they came to head in 1996 the game didn’t disappoint.
Both sides had lost their previous matches and trailed Manchester United in a three-way race for the Premier League title.
With both keen to close the gap on the Red Devils, victory could be vital.
The match itself was filled with drama as both sides gave it their all to stay withing touching distance of Sir Alex Ferguson‘s United.

Liverpool took the lead just two minutes in as Robbie Fowler netted the opener.
The Magpies then hit back as Les Ferdinand and David Ginola put them ahead before half-time.
Fowler scored an equaliser in the 55th minute before Faustino Asprilla restored the visitor’s lead.
The Reds were then cheered on by the Anfield crowd as Stan Collymore netted a brace to win the match.
9. Jose Mourinho’s introduction
Jose Mourinho will always be one of the most recognisable faces of the Prem[/caption]
Jose Mourinho arrived on English shores for the first time back in 2004, when he was made Chelsea manager after his success at Porto.
The Portuguese manager did not disappoint as in his first press conference, he insisted that he was “not arrogant” but referred to himself as “The Special One”.
The nickname has stuck by Mourinho as he has gone on to win three Premier League titles across two spells at the Blues.
8. Hansen’s “can’t win with kids” comment
Alan Hansen lived to regret his words on Match of theDay in 1995[/caption]
Alan Hansen built his reputation as a brilliant defender at Liverpool and helped the team win eight First Division titles and three European Cups.
He retired in 1991 and pursued a career in the media, leading to an iconic moment in 1995.
After Manchester United were beaten by Aston Villa on the opening day of the season, Hansen claimed that the club cannot “win anything with kids”.
The comment came as the Red Devils let Paul Ince, Mark Hughes and Andrei Kanchelskis leave and introduced youngsters in their place.
Sir Alex Ferguson’s side went on to win the league that season and dominate football for many years to come – Oh how wrong you were Alan.
7. Aguerooooooooooo!!!
The seventh most memorable moment in the league’s history came from Sergio Aguero.
The striker scored Manchester City’s title-winning goal against QPR back in 2012.
The Argentine’s strike came at 93.20 and gave Roberto Mancini‘s side a 3-2 victory over the London-based side.
The win meant Sir Alex Ferguson and his Manchester United players were left heartbroken in Sunderland after their victory was put in vein.
The goal has always been remembered for Martin Tyler’s iconic commentary as he screamed: “Aguerooooooooo” as the striker scored.
That day marked City’s first ever Premier League title, staring a period of domination that has seen them win another SEVEN titles since that day.
6. Steven Gerrard’s slip
Liverpool have only won one Premier League title in their history but could have had two if not for a fateful slip.
The Reds were the favourites to lift the title under Brendan Rodgers in 2014 as they sat a comfortable five points ahead of rivals Man City with three games to go.
A home win against Chelsea would have put the title in their grasp, but with the game at 0-0, disaster struck.
Steven Gerrard, captain and leader, slipped on the ball, which allowed Demba Ba to race through and score.
The game ended in a 2-0 defeat, and Liverpool’s following collapse at Crystal Palace saw the title won by City.
5. Wayne Rooney’s overhead kick

The Manchester derby has always been one of the most exciting fixtures in the Premier League.
It has thrown up some incredible moments, such as City’s 6-1 win at Old Trafford.
However, one goal stands above all others in the fixture and it came from the legend that is Wayne Rooney.
In 2011, the derby was underway and looked set for a 1-1 draw after goals from Nani and David Silva cancelled each other out.
That was until Rooney pulled off an amazing overhead kick in the 78th minute to win the match.
The goal has often been proclaimed as the best in the history of the Premier League.
4. Kevin Keegan’s ‘love it’ rant
Club managers have been a key part of creating Premier League folklore.
One boss, Kevin Keegan, stands out for his incredible rant during the 1995/96 title race.
Newcastle were going head-to-head with the Red Devils, and Keegan’s side faced Leeds, who had three games to go.
The Magpies won 1-0 and the manager had an outburst after the game as he reacted to Ferguson’s doubts over the club’s title credentials.
He ranted: “I’ll tell you, you can tell him [Ferguson] now if you’re watching it, we’re still fighting for this title, and he’s got to go to Middlesbrough and get something, and… and… I’ll tell you, honestly, I will love it if we beat them, love it!”
However, it was not the dream end for Keegan as Newcastle drew their next two games against Nottingham Forest and Tottenham.
Man United beat Middlesborough and won the title.
3. Foxes do the impossible
Leicester City completed a Cinderella story by winning the Premier League in 2016[/caption]
For most of its history, the Premier League has often been dominated by the biggest clubs.
However, in the 2015/16 season, one side seemed to do what many thought was impossible.
The Italian, along with summer signings N’Golo Kante, Robert Huth and Shinji Okazaki improved the team that already included Jamie Vardy and Riyad Marhez.
The East Midlands side then managed to defy the odds and win the whole division despite many backing them for relegation at the start of the season.
Leicester’s achievement was incredibly improbable as they had been given odds of 5000-1 to win the Prem at the start of the campaign.
2. Beckham’s halfway line screamer
David Beckham is known for many things. From his free-kick against Greece in and England shirt to his superstar status off the pitch.
But when it comes to the Premier League, his greatest moment will always be considered as his stunning goal against Wimbledon.
Just 21 years old at the time, a fresh-faced Beckham etched his name into the brains of football fans up and down the country.
United were leading Wimbledon 2-0 when Beckham spotted that opposition keeper Neil Sullivan was off his line.
The midfielder let fly from the halfway line, clearing Sullivan and seeing his long-range effort hit the back of the net.
Some players have scored similar efforts in the years since, but Beckham will forever be the benchmark for which halfway line goals are measured.
1. Cantona’s Kung Fu kick
If this was a list of the Premier League’s most iconic characters Eric Cantona would be at the top, so it’s no surprise that his most famous moment tops the list of the league’s most memorable moments too.
During a game against Crystal Palace in 1995, Cantona was berated by a fan in the stands – sparking a reaction from the Frenchman.
