Dundee Waterfront

Dundee is known as Scotland’s sunniest city and is situated on the Tay estuary. The waterfront is a great place to visit and has recently been undergoing redevelopment to connect the city centre to the River Tay. The area is home to the V&A Museum of Design Dundee as well as Discovery Point and many other must-visit attractions.

Dundee Waterfront is an hour away from Dalnoid Cottages And Treehouses, making a great day out during your stay. No trip to Scotland is complete without exploring the culture and beauty that Dundee has to offer.

V&A Dundee is the first design museum in Scotland and is the only Victoria and Albert museum outside of London. The fascinating museum brings artefacts from the world of design and style to Scotland for the first time. All of which is housed in a stunning building designed by the renowned architect, Kengo Kuma.

The museum is perfect for all ages and encourages the exploration of creativity in many unique ways. Visitors will be taken on a journey of design from the past, present and future, with a range of permanent and temporary exhibitions. Showcasing awe-inspiring design from across the globe, V&A Dundee hosts a vast range of exhibits. In addition to this, there is also a restaurant, an outdoor terrace with magnificent views across the waterfront, and a café.

Another main attraction at Dundee Waterfront is Discovery Point. A visit to this unique location will take you on a journey with Captain Scott and his crew through the heroic age of exploration. The beautiful ship has been transformed and provides exhibition areas that travel through its incredible journey.

Visitors have the chance to board the ship and discover where the historic crew lived while they spent two years stuck in ice. Discovery Point also has a relaxed café for a pitstop during your day out, and a gift shop for souvenirs of your memorable adventure.

The Dundee Waterfront also has a busy schedule of events, so there is always something going on. With more exciting businesses and exhibits coming to the area, this vibrant area is quickly becoming a must-visit for any trip to Scotland.
