Things to see in kingennie - other highlights

Whilst visiting and touring Angus and Dundee, you simply must not miss

RRS Discovery

Dundee is known as 'The City of Discovery' taking that name from Scott of the Antartic's ship "Discovery" which was built in Dundee and returned here a few years ago. It is now the centrepiece of a multimedia heritage centre (Discovery Quay) on the city's waterfront.

Verdant Works

An absolute ‘must visit’ is Verdant Works, Dundee's exciting Textile Heritage Centre, which
brings the City's proud past to life. the site is a living museum recording the history of not only the Jute industry, but of Dundee itself, and the townsfolk who made it possible. Verdant Works, combined with a visit to the RRS Discovery, really does make for a fascinating and educational day out.

Frigate Unicorn

His Majesty's Frigate UNICORN, of 46 guns, berthed in Dundee, was built for the Royal Navy in Chatham dockyard, and she was launched in 1824. The classic sailing frigate was a fast and powerful warship, and was one of the most successful and charismatic ship designs of the age.

She is a unique survivor from the brief transitional period between the traditional wooden sailing ship and the revolutionary iron steamship. Step on board this historic Warship and travel back in time to the days when Britannia ruled the waves.

Dundee Contemporary Arts

DCA is ranked in the top 10 visitor attractions in Scotland by Visit Scotland and is an internationally renowned centre for the arts, an award winning leader in the field of education and a vibrant and hugely popular social an cultural meeting place. DCA has 5 floors of cinemas, galleries, artists facilities, education resources, the University of Dundee visual research centre and a hugely popular café bar. We have attracted over 1,000,000 visitors since opening in March 1999, over 300,000 per year.

McManus Galleries

McManus Galleries houses the city of Dundee's art, history and the natural sciences collections. These include material relating to local archaeology, Egyptology, local history and industrial history, costume, Scottish silver, glass and ceramics, geology (including fossils), plants and animals. There is also an extensive photographic collection covering most aspects of life in Dundee over the last 100 years. Missionary-related archival collections include material on Mary Slessor, a United Presbyterian Church of Scotland missionary in Africa, and her correspondent Charles Partridge.

Kirriemuir

Rightly proud of its famous son, JM Barrie, Kirriemuir benefits from a surprisingly large variety of great local interest and pursuits, most notable being:

• The old Town house, dating back to 1604 and home of Kirriemuir Museum
• Kirriemuir Aviation museum, featuring a superb collection of museums, artefacts, models and pictures dating relating to military aviation and the RAF in particular.
• The Camera Obscura in Kirriemuir, one of only three in Scotland , and a must visit
• The neighbouring and scenically stunning Angus Glens, providing some of the most outstanding mixed walking opportunities, and also sensational shooting and stalking, anywhere in Scotland.
• The James Braid designed local Kirriemuir Golf Course - a real gem. Not to mention some rather well known local area courses such as Carnoustie and the excellent open championship qualifiers at Monifeith, Panmure and Downfield. Golf breaks in Scotland at their very best can be enjoyed here at Kingennie.
