The Tay is famed as one of the world's finest salmon rivers and holds the record for the biggest fish caught in British waters - a 64 pounder landed by Edith Ballantine in 1922. The city skyline is dominated by Dundee Law , an extinct volcano which rises to 571 feet. The summit can be accessed by car or on foot and offers excellent views of the surrounding countryside. Orientation boards provide a wealth of information and tell the history of the Law, from its earliest Iron Age occupation to the present day. Football is almost a religion in the City of Discovery.
Stadium tours are available on request.
Dundee offers a huge and lively choice of public houses, bars and nightclubs. There are over 100 popular venues within easy reach of the heart of town. Establishments close to the University of Dundee and along the Perth Road are favoured by students. Most of the city centre and west end bars get very busy at weekends, so you may have to hunt about to find somewhere for a quiet drink. The city is well served by a cosmopolitan selection of restaurants - Greek, Mexican, Italian, Turkish, Chinese, Indian and French cuisine are all on offer in the city centre.
