HOTELS IN DUNDEE, SCOTLAND |
|
| Dundee is the fourth-largest
city in Scotland and, fully named as Dundee City, one of Scotland's 32
local government council areas. It lies on the north bank of the Firth
of Tay, which feeds into the North Sea.
Dundee and the surrounding area has
been continuously occupied since the Mesolithic. The port developed initially
on the back of the wool trade exporting wool from the Angus hinterland.
Once it was cheaper to produce linen, which had supplanted the wool trade
and was itself under pressure from cotton abroad, the weavers turned their
skills to weaving imported jute. The weaving industry caused the city to
grow rapidly with many migrant workers though the town contained very few
stone buildings prior to 1860. In this period, Dundee also gained a reputation
for its marmalade industry and its journalism, giving Dundee its epithet
as the city of "jam, jute and journalism". |
 |
| In 2006, the population
of Dundee City was estimated to be 141,930. Dundee's recorded population
reached a peak of 182,204 at the time of the 1971 census, but has since
declined due to outward migration.
Today, Dundee is promoted as the
City of Discovery, in honour of Dundee's history of scientific activities
and of the RRS Discovery, Robert Falcon Scott's Antarctic exploration vessel,
which was built in Dundee and is now berthed in the city harbour. Biomedical
and technological industries have arrived since the 1980s, and the city
now accounts for 10% of the United Kingdom's digital-entertainment industry.
Dundee has two universities—the University of Abertay Dundee and the University
of Dundee. |
