I visited Dundee for a week after the conference and I was very impressed, Dundee kept its tradition to modern day. I was particularly taken by the memorable Discovery, though only a museum right now, it seems so real with the display it has. I will never forget Dundee.</p> 2000 to present Visitors Jeffrey Dissing Riverside Tue, 15 Mar 2011 15:44:15 +0000 lynne.davidson 694 at http://bygone.dundeecity.gov.uk
