Why Go?
Many visitors pass by this corner of the country in their headlong rush to the tourist honey-
pots of Loch Ness and Skye. But they're missing out on a part of Scotland that's just as
beautiful and diverse as the more obvious attractions of the west.
Within its bounds you'll find two of Scotland's four largest cities - Dundee, the city of
jute, jam and journalism, cradle of some of Britain's favourite comic characters, and home
to Captain Scott's Antarctic research ship, the
Discovery;
and Aberdeen, the granite city, an
economic powerhouse fuelled by the riches of North Sea oil.
