Captains Scott's ship

Also in Dundee there is Captain Scott's original ship, the Discovery, which he took for the forst big antarctic exploration (not the one  he died on). It was very moving to be in his cabin, or Shackleton's, and to help them dig.

Dundee

Dundee was very educational. The Jute museum gave a glimpse of its history, and Dundee is home to the famous comic characters of The Beano and the Dandy. Minnie the Minx, Plug and the Bash street kids, and of course Desperate Dan.

Visit to Scotland for work purposes - setting up student exchanges, but did allow for some tourism.
