How to get there

Dundee in Scotland

The city is well worth a visit-famously the home of “jam, jute and journalism”. It is really marmalade, not jam, which Dundee is linked with, after Janet Keiller is said to created British marmalade from an import of Seville oranges. There were a number of jute works in the local area but numbers have decreased due to lack of demand.

It’s also famous for DC Thompson which created the Beano and Dandy comics as well as the character “Oor Willie”. Although people know about the “old course” at St Andrews there are in actuality eleven courses to explore and maybe play on, all owned by the National Trust.
