Featuring the Tay Bridge Disaster , we will spend a good portion of the walk and talk dealing with the events of that fateful day.You will encounter dreadful rogues, awful (but much loved) poets and some true heroes.
Captain Scott's RRS Discovery, was launched here in Dundee in 1901. The ship's story, from the voyage with Scott to Antarctica , to its homecoming and location at Discovery Point, is another of the main themes of the tour .Your Guide has been a Volunteer onboard RRS Discovery for several years. He often gets asked if this is the original ship-it most certainly is!
The tour, which is all on the level, is around 3/4 of a mile (1208 metres) in distance.
Tours will go ahead irrespective of the weather. Please do take care to dress accordingly - we are situated at the Tay estuary, leading to the North Sea. Dundee is, however, the sunniest city in Scotland . Yes really.
Please note that your tour ticket price does not entitle you to entry to any of the attractions which we will view or discuss. We would however be glad to recommend that you do try to visit or investigate them for yourselves. Tour tickets are for sale online only. Sorry , no refunds after purchase.
THE TOUR WILL BE COMPLIANT WITH SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT COVID REGULATIONS WHICH ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
