Dundee is in an idyllic location hugging the banks of the River Tay in north east Scotland. Dundee is Scotland's fourth largest city and has a population of roughly 150,000. Dundonians are famously friendly and open, and the relatively small size and close-knit community make the city both affordable to live in and a safe place to be. Did you know that Dundee has more hours of sunshine, the purest air quality and more green spaces than any other Scottish city?

Dundee is a dynamic and multicultural city, with a real buzz about it. It has recently been described as "Britain’s coolest little city" by GQ Magazineand we are excited about the many changes and developments currently taking place. Scotland's four main airports also make it easy (and affordable) to reach the main centres of the UK and Europe, and the new Dundee-Amsterdam route opens up even more possibilities for travel.
