Dundee, named the UK’s first UNESCO City of Design in 2014, blends heritage with innovation. Once famed for jute, jam, and journalism, it now thrives in cutting-edge industries.

The V&A Dundee, designed by Kengo Kuma, redefines the waterfront, sitting near the historic RRS Discovery, the ship that carried Scott to Antarctica. A gaming powerhouse, the city birthed Lemmings and Grand Theft Auto, helping to shape global entertainment.

The Dundee Law, an extinct volcano, offers panoramic views, while McManus Galleries and Verdant Works showcase its rich history. Home to world-class research, Dundee continues to push boundaries in creativity and science.

135 years of engineering excellence! Yesterday marked another milestone for the Forth Bridge—an enduring marvel of design and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A true feat of Victorian ingenuity that continues to stand strong.

🌉 Some facts:

Opened on 4 March 1890, it was a groundbreaking achievement in railway engineering.

It carries around 200 trains daily, connecting Edinburgh and Fife.

The bridge is 2,467 metres (8,094 feet / 1.53 miles) long, supported by three massive cantilever structures.

It was the first major steel structure in the UK, using around 53,000 tonnes of steel.

The phrase “painting the Forth Bridge” comes from its once-continuous maintenance cycle, which ended in 2011 with a new long-lasting coating.

It became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2015, recognised for its pioneering design.

Culzean Castle rises above the Ayrshire coast, standing bold against the sky with sweeping sea views in every direction. Inside, its grand halls and hidden corners hold centuries of stories, while outside, gardens, woodlands, and wild cliffs make it a place that feels both regal and untamed. It’s the kind of castle that doesn’t just sit in the landscape—it commands it.
