STAYBRIDGE SUITES DUNDEE

A gentle stroll from the suites, this world class museum is an offshoot of London’s V&A and adds a futuristic landmark to Dundee’s rejuvenated waterfront. Behind the flowing lines of architect Kengo Kuma's boat shaped gallery you will find the best of Scottish design, from dazzling diamond jewellery to clan tartans.

Bring your sunglasses! Scientifically the sunniest city in Scotland! Take some time to visit St Andrews, just a 20 minute drive away and the world famous home of golf, explore the history of this beautiful quaint town with its award winning beaches and award winning ice cream!

Desperate Dan Statue is a wild west character in the British comic magazine The Dandy and has become their mascot. He made his appearance in the first issue which was dated 4 December 1937. He is apparently the world's strongest man, able to lift a cow with one hand. The statue of Desperate Dan is located in Dundee city centre, where his publishers, D. C. Thomson & Co. are based.

Behind its ornate, Gothic Revival façade, the fascinating McManus gallery offers a colourful romp through centuries of Tayside history. Look out for ancient log boats unearthed from the River Tay, warts-and-all portraits by Scottish artist Henry Raeburn, and the huge skeleton of the Tay Whale, a reminder of the city’s whaling past.

Our City has something to offer all ages and interest groups. Dundee is best experienced on foot; enjoy a stroll around our city and along the River Tay taking in the many statues, street art and sculptures or grab a drink at one of our local pubs and cocktail bars.
