Dundee – Much More than Cake!

City in Best of Europe Guide 2018

Scotland’s fourth largest city is now one of the best places to visit in Europe according to the travel guide people. It is hot listed as they say, as the guides try and move bums off streets in the more usual and crowded parts of Europe. Well I approve of that. I was in Stockholm recently, ah get you I hear you say, and the city could have two or three giant cruise ships in the harbour at any one time, all disgorging crowds of mostly Germans onto the streets to spend a very little in that nation’s capital. Well Dundee rates as number 6 in this less travelled guide to the hot spots from the famous travel writers.

A Northern Gem Shines In Time for Father’s day

The city now has earned the place in the guide for its spanking new urban redevelopment which includes the changes to its historic waterfront and the opening of a new branch of the V&A in three months time. Dundee has been overlooked for too long so it seems and visitors can enjoy nationally important museums and attractions in a much improved environment. I’m personally looking forward to taking the wife, she’s quite ‘arty,’ to the new V&A and  a water loving person I’m very keen to see the new waterside developments so much creative energy and cash has been spent on. I might even try one of the new water born forms of transport.

Don’t Forget Dad

 Now if you like me like to try some new things then we can do a lot for you here at James Pirie especially with Father’s Day on June 17. If mum is still saying dad drinks like a fish give himself something to turn it into a joke, with this lovely whisky tumbler featuring our favourite wildlife animals expertly engraved on hand cut crystal tots and tumblers. The leaping salmon is fine specimen and just the thing to raise in salute to those we love so much.
