Hi Kakibot, this is a neat little tour and insight in to Dundee. I would like to add it to my next Scotland trip and now have some ideas about what to see. You are cool, without a doubt - stylish and fun! Cheers
Great video! Thank you for sharing so many nature and art inspired travel ideas. I knew about the V&A museum in Dundee but not about the video game history! It’s added to the must see list.
Dundee is great with the seaside suburb of broughty Ferry. it’s a great city to cycle round fantastic also close to really nice other places as in Carnoustie Forfar Brechin and Arbroath all within half an hour from Dundee
Dundee used to be an amazing, bustling place with so much to see and a lovely beach on it's doorstep. The nightlife from one end of town to the other was brilliant too. Now the waterfront looks great but the city centre has died and that's what spoils it but it's definitely worth a visit. Just don't expect much from the centre. Make sure to go up the Law Hill, visit the parks and go down Broughty Ferry and see the beach.
I loved your video on Dundee, I am originally from Dundee and visit there at least once a year as I moved to England in 1989. Every time I visit there is something new! They will be starting bus tours in the summer with festivals and also boat trips along the Tay that will get people very close to dolphins and sea life .. Dundee is the place to visit X
It took me almost 10 years to do this trip (if I don't count stopping by the Starbucks on the outskirts 50 times on my way to Aberdeenshire haha) so... don't feel bad if your list of amazing places seems a bit intimidating! But I definitely recommend it, and can't wait to drag some of my artsy friends back! .) What do you think is your next trip gonna be?
@@Kakibot haha yeah there's just so much to do and see! GOOD question... we honestly don't know, we're very much in a go with the flow and last minute decision phase haha so it could be anywhere!
I just love walking along the waterfront and up to the Botanics, it’s a very good garden in a lovely area of grand Victorian houses overlooking the beautiful Tay.
Have to say i watched a few videos about Dundee and this one ranks high. I love the presentation and charisma shines through. On the bitter marmalade front, it is an acquired taste, but maybe try silver shred as stepping stone?
As an artsy peep I think you definitely should! I did see some of my friends being a bit let down by it - but to me I really liked the smaller town vibe and non-claustrophobic feel of being so close to water at all times. Personally I'd love to go back and see more of the area around the University, too!
braithwaites. I used to make their teabag cartons. 1 of them on display in the local history section of the McManus galleries. Bet there aren't many folk who can say they have something they made on display in a museum.
I’m hopefully visiting Dundee at the start of July to see my long-distance partner. It looks like such an interesting and unique city! You have definitely intrigued me, and excited me to visit even more! I didn’t realise it’s beauty until now. Hopefully, I will discover more when we arrive!
Glad you enjoyed it! I feel like it’s a really underappreciated city, happy to see people are more curious to visit it these days ❤️ what was your favourite bit?
@@Kakibot I liked how friendly and helpful everybody I met was, how safe the city is. Many years ago I lived many months in Antarctica, so i gratly enjoyed the "Discover" ship exhibit. I have to confess I did not know much about Dundee prior to my visit. But now I will come back again and again.
Really loved Dundee, quirky place beautifully situated at the Tay estuary. 'Daisy Tasker' restaurant in an old industrial building - converted into a hotel - is great for 'Fish & Chips'. Hotels in Dundee are half the price of hotels in St. Andrews which is easy to reach by bus
"quirky"? This regeneration crap holds no benefits to actual locals of Dundee, poverty and drug deaths are still as high as they were years ago. Poorly disguised gentrification can't polish a turd. All the hipster middle-class progressives raising the prices up. Go up to Douglas and Charleston if you want to see what the real Dundee looks like. Don't visit.
Wish I was there too but no I cannot without quarantine 👎🏻 I will get there as soon as we are able to with no restrictions… I love 💕 these videos soooo much
Really like Dundee! I feel it’s not always on a visitors list, but so much to see here and lots of great history! I used to work in Dundee about 2 months a year and it also has a good night life (bars and restaurants 😊)
Any favourite food and drink establishments? We found a bunch of places we enjoyed but I'd love to hear from someone who was more of a Dundee regular! .)
I freaking LOVE marmalade! Also I’ve been wanting to bake a Dundee cake because there’s a recipe for it in my Mary Berry cookery book. Maybe I will this Christmas. Thanks for all the great tips for visiting Dundee! Can you get to Dundee via public transport from Edinburgh?
You missed all the junkies and the pregnant 12 year olds. At least you saw the record breaking V&A its officialy the biggest waste of money and the ugliest building in the country at the same time.
I’ve seen more junkies in many other city’s in the UK and abroad.....have you been to Edinburgh london Copenhagen or LA ...as for Dundee being full of pregnant 12 year olds ....think I smell Jobbies ...like too many people who don’t really know the city awa and tak yer heed for a shyte😉🏴
@@stephenborland8129 lived ouside of Dundee all my life and yes iv been to every place you have mentioned. I tend not to frequent the junkie hotspots. Like when i went to LA it wasnt to Inglewood or Compton. Malibu is a lot nicer.
You missed the Mills observatory for stars and planets, plus Verdant works, Discovery Point with captains scotts discovery ship , Broughty Ferry and the castle, the 2 football clubs Dundee and Dundee United full of history , also Camperdown country park, plus the Frigate unicorn ship and the watersports beside the Apex Hotel in City Quay docks, Plus the Botanic Gardens, ...As a Dundonian your video is extremely poor and missed a hell of a lot in our city Plus the remains of the old Tay rail bridge stumps are alongside the legs of the current one where a train from edinburgh crashed into the water when the bridge collapsed killing everyone on board worst ever rail disater but history and the memorial beside the bridge with all their names ...you couldve done far better and seen loads more sorry.. you didnt do enough research ahead of your visit
Ah yes, having 24s to see ALL THE THINGS is famously great fun! Please consider all the extra work that goes into planning videos and keep in mind that we need to set our priorities. Perfect is the enemy of good.
@@williebauld1007 Lived in East Lothian for over 40 years, now in Dundee. My personal favourite places so far: Balgay Hill with the UK's only full-time [purpose-built] public observatory, and beautiful woodland park. If like me you like parks, green open spaces and the sight and smell of lots of trees? Try the Camperdown Country Park, and adjacent Templeton and Clatto Woods. Seen more trees around me in one afternoon than in any one year in EL and Edinburgh. Please watch out for the red squirrels; take your litter home; no fires; and absolutely no motor vehicles, *including off-road motorcycles* on the woodland paths! Love for Dundee...
We are glad you enjoyed your visit, Haste Ye Back!

My home town 😊
I live in dundee there is nothing to do... if you want to visit wait a few years and the eden project will be done that will give a reason to stop by
We are so excited to visit Dundee after watching this! As foodies and nerds, this is right up our alley! Thanks for another great video!!
I just love walking along the waterfront and up to the Botanics, it’s a very good garden in a lovely area of grand Victorian houses overlooking the beautiful Tay.
I'll need to visit next time! I'd definitely love to visit Dundee again .)
Hei, great video! I lived there during 4 years and you described the vibe so well
You were just up the road from me when you were on the Law. Should've chapped ma door for a cuppie tea! x

@@Kakibot it sounds a bit like the town I went to Uni in, a small university town but cute and artsy. I love that vibe but it's not for everyone.
Thanks for sharing info on Dundee
1:31 I read "visit Dundee's 2.105 year old tea merchant store" LOL
That would be quite impressive .DD
Lol. That’s what I read too.

Beautiful places, very nice tour! 😍👌❤️
Dundee, oh Dundee! Massive sentimental value, it was the first Scottish city I visited
They're buildin a big fancy E-sports arena in Dundee, that's kinda cool :3
I’m hopefully visiting Dundee at the start of July to see my long-distance partner. It looks like such an interesting and unique city! You have definitely intrigued me, and excited me to visit even more! I didn’t realise it’s beauty until now. Hopefully, I will discover more when we arrive!
We were there a week ago, and loved it! Greetings from Chicago, USA.

Yes by bus, the try the Megabus or train
Home of one of Scotlands most unique singers ever.Billy Mackenzie.
SO excited to be in Edinburgh/Dundee for 11 days in mid-August! (as long as US/UK figure out the travel crap) Love your videos!!
Fingers crossed! I'm hoping UK/US will be great pals in the future! Would be nice if it started with some travel re-openings >.>
Love Dundee!!
Lemmings! Our first computer and the first DOS games. Long time ago.
We need to play again when you visit us next time!
Serious Adventure Zone music vibes at 4:40
Dundee has a lot more to offer. The film was very short on content.
With the 12 hours we had to shoot it I think we did a good job ✨
I do love orange marmalade.
I like Scotland. I like the Scots. I like what is Scottish.
dundee is like one of those wee hidden gems in edinburgh in those nooks and crannies; but just that lol its awesome
Geriatric student 😂 But I loved the video, hoping to visit summer 2024
Where else in Sunny Scotland would you be interested in seeing a video from us? :)
Aberdeen, fife, Perth, Glasgow, Inverness, Shetland and Orkney!
Glasgow!
Southwest Scotland its overloooked
Southwest Scotland its overloooked
Perth, Stirling, Oban, Aberdeen - anywhere that would be a good day trip from Edinburgh ❤️
The law hill was actually a volcano .
An extinct volcano and Law just means hill so is the hill hill lol
Eyy i’m from Dundee
Marmalade is dope
You didn't miss anything by not seeing the video games exhibition, it was not for the "gamer".
The Abertay exhibition was far superior.
Born in Dundee
I live in Dundee
Is it easy to find a job in Dundee ?
@@nelson474 Jobs? What are you, posh? This is Dundee not Chelsea.
good vid of me home town well done!
Covid hot spot of Europe st the minute. Wait till things are better before visiting safely.
Awake me
After I've had a shower and phoned my brother up.

Everywhere has its problems. Can't see Dundee being much different in that respect. Why not accept that there are good things too?
😆

@@Kakibot Your right l liked the video and for a day trip you did manage to see quite a lot
What are on about Rod? She did an amazing job. Do a video yourself if your not happy.
The best thing about Dundee is the road out back to a civilised city lol
So what stunning diamond of civilisation do you byde
