Places to see in ( Dundee - UK )
Dundee is a coastal city on the Firth of Tay estuary in eastern Scotland. Its regenerated waterfront has 2 nautical museums: RRS Discovery, Captain Scott’s Antarctic expedition ship, and 19th-century warship, HM Frigate Unicorn. North of the water, Verdant Works is a museum celebrating the city’s jute-manufacturing heritage. The McManus: Dundee’s Art Gallery & Museum displays art and archaeological finds.
Dundee officially the City of Dundee, is Scotland's fourth-largest city and the 51st-most-populous built-up area in the United Kingdom. ies within the eastern central Lowlands on the north bank of the Firth of Tay, which feeds into the North Sea. Under the name of Dundee City, Dundee forms one of the 32 council areas used for local government in Scotland.
Historically part of Angus, the city of Dundee developed into a burgh in the late 12th century and established itself as an important east coast trading port. Rapid expansion was brought on by the Industrial Revolution, particularly in the 19th century when Dundee was the centre of the global jute industry. This, along with its other major industries gave Dundee its epithet as the city of jute, jam and journalism.
Today, Dundee is promoted as One City, Many Discoveries in honour of Dundee's history of scientific activities and of the RRS Discovery, Robert Falcon Scott's Antarctic exploration vessel, which was built in Dundee and is now berthed at Discovery Point. Biomedical and technological industries have arrived since the 1980s, and the city now accounts for 10% of the United Kingdom's digital-entertainment industry. Dundee has two universities — the University of Dundee and the Abertay University. In 2014 Dundee was recognised by the United Nations as the UK's first UNESCO City of Design for its diverse contributions to fields including medical research, comics and video games.
A unique feature of Dundee is that its two professional football clubs Dundee United and Dundee F.C. have stadiums all but adjacent to each other. With the decline of traditional industry, the city has adopted a plan to regenerate and reinvent itself as a cultural centre. In pursuit of this, a £1 billion master plan to regenerate and to reconnect the Waterfront to the city centre started in 2001 and is expected to be completed within a 30-year period, with the Dundee Victoria & Albert Museum opening by 2018 at a cost of £80 million.

Drumin Castle - Cairngorm National Park, Scotland
Drumin Castle near Glenlivet in the Cairngorm National Park is a ruined castle that has been restored and has free entry to visit. I visited during my visit to the Cairngorm National Park and had a great walk around. The river is close by and the car park perfect for a cuppa before you head back on your way.
If you are into your whisky too, it is not too far from the Glenlivet Distillery.
There is plenty to see and do in the Cairngorm National Park and below you’ll find some links for you.

Quarrymill Woodland walk, Perth.
As the name suggests, there have been both quarries and mills at the Quarrymill Woodland Park site dating back as far as the 14th century, although most of the known activity originates from much later. The Park itself was donated to the Trust by A K Bell in 1937. The earliest known records show a letter from Robert, King of Scots to the monks of Scone Abbey requesting permission to use stone from their quarries at Kincarrathie and Balcormoc (now Quarrymill) for the Kirk of Perth and the bridges of Perth and the Earn. The letter is dated 4th July 1328, and is the oldest record of activity at the Quarrymill site. The site at Kincarrathie has been filled in. It is also believed that stone from Quarrymill was used to construct Scone Abbey and, later may have been transported up river to build Stanley Mills. In 1574 a site known as Balchormack is shown to the north of the Annaty Burn and a site referred to as Quarrelmiln is shown slightly closer to the River Tay.
Sandstone extraction and weaving at Quarrymill was well underway by the 18th Century when there were numerous mills spinning cotton, extracting starch from potatoes for use in weaving and the textile industry and grinding bone to use in dyes and fertilisers. The traditional red 'Perth' sandstone was used widely for buildings and farm walls and can be seen extensively in the surrounding area. There are examples of the sandstone throughout the Woodland Walk, although some can only be seen through the natural plant life which has been allowed to flourish to enhance the walk itself.
The Annaty Burn which runs through the Woodland Park has a wealth of history associated with it. The area to the south of the burn and extending to Murrayshall was formerly known as 'St Ninian's Lands', and place names in that area may indicate a station of the 5th Century missionary. The name Annaty indicates a mother church, or a church which contains relics of the founder. The site of the church may be where diggings in 1942 revealed red sandstone foundations belonging to a small rectangular building, and there were also early hut circles visible here in the 19th Century. However, this theory is not fully substantiated.
A K Bell purchased the Scone Den in 1933 and directed the Trust to 'dedicate, equip and maintain it as a place of public resort'. During the intervening years the Trustees have met A K Bell's wishes and the Woodland Park is maintained to high standards and is enjoyed by the residents of Perth and visitors alike to this day.
