Following on from last week’s post and my stay in Dundee at Hotel Indigo, I thought I’d give AHB readers a bit of a low down on what you can do in Dundee, known as the city of discovery!
Dundee – The City of Discovery
Discovering Dundee with Hotel Indigo (review)
Dundee has had quite a year. Named in the ‘Top 5 Worldwide Hot Destinations’ by the Wall Street Journal, and the ‘Coolest Little City in Britain’ by GQ Magazine, Dundee has seen the V&A Dundee open after many years of construction and anticipation building.
