Dundee enjoys more hours of sunshine than any other city in Scotland, while the surrounding Tay region, with its abundance of charming towns and fishing villages dotting the east coast, provides a quality of life few regions can match.
There’s no better time to put down roots in Dundee. The Waterfront’s burgeoning regeneration will see a raft of new homes, shops, cafes, hotels, bars and restaurants lining the Tay, attracting discerning professionals who want to work in a place which complements their lifestyle.
Dundee’s centrality makes it easy to reach all of the key business hubs in Scotland, with Aberdeen and Inverness in the north and Glasgow and Edinburgh to the south.
