    O/T best things about Dundee

    Since we are all just waiting until October to decide whether this season is a bust or not.

    As an exile I have recently got a working arrangement where I can split my time abroad and back in Dundee. Tbh I love Dundee so just wanting to know what you all think are the best things about the city outside of our great club.

    For me:

    The people, Dundonians are what they are in the best possible way.

    The location, everything you could ever want and all that Scotland has to offer is within an hour or so.

    J+Ls Tasty Delights steak and gravy pie. Best pie bar none (I can't say peh anymore because my bast@rdised accent). Gidi grill and Boat Brae depending on the occasion.

    The ferry - to keep our Dee friends happy

    The pubs - so many great boozers to choose from, little shout out to the athletic bar for being the cheapest whisky bar anywhere. Mennies, the fisherman's and also Draffens from the more pretentious contemporary bunch.

    The Rep and to a lesser extent McManus, DCA, V+A all great for the city.

    What about everyone else? First one to say Templeton woods is outed as Butcher.

    The Laa Hill. Incredible views of the whole city from one place, breathtaking.

    Agreed - The Law. No many cities have a view like that right in the middle of it. Absolutely stunning , every time.

    The view over the silvery Tay from the foreign land of Fife. Likewise , absolutely beautiful. Have a large, framed, sunset photograph in the hoose here. Love it.

    Groucho’s ( RIP )… now 13 Records in Union Street.

    Tannadice

    Plenty more too.

    Lived in Perth in the eighties PA (not the prison ) - loads of great memories. The Clachan and The Grill were great pubs then.

    Three things new visitors must do.
    Drive up the Dundee Law.
    Drive over the Tay road bridge from the south.
    Drive along Tannadice Street.
