6-Bedroom Hot Tub House in St Andrews

V&A Dundee is Scotland's design museum, set on Dundee's waterfront. It was the first building in the UK designed by the Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, whose idea was a "living room for the city", and its outer wing reaches out over the River Tay. It is also the only V&A museum outside London.

Tip: Parking is in the nearby Dundee City Council car parks, and the free Smartify app audio tours let you explore at your own pace.

RRS Discovery is the wooden three-masted ship built in Dundee in 1901 for Antarctic research. She carried Robert Falcon Scott and Ernest Shackleton on the Discovery Expedition, and she was the last traditional wooden three-masted ship built in the United Kingdom.

The McManus is Dundee's art gallery and museum, housed in a Category A listed Gothic Revival building designed by George Gilbert Scott. Eight galleries across two floors follow the story of the city, from a small settlement to the Dundee of today, taking in 400 million years of history along the way.

Tip: The nearest public car parks are Bell Street, Overgate and Wellgate, each a 5-10 minute walk away.

St Andrews Castle is a ruin on a rocky promontory overlooking Castle Sands and the North Sea. It began as a bishop's palace and later served as a fortress and state prison.

St Andrews Cathedral in Fife was begun in 1158 and was the largest church ever built in Scotland. The ruins show it was around 119 metres long. It was the seat of the Archbishops of St Andrews and the centre of the medieval Catholic Church in Scotland, and legend says Robert the Bruce rode up the aisle on his horse when it was consecrated in 1318.

Verdant Works is a former jute mill in Dundee, now a museum telling the story of the textile industry that once dominated the city. It is the only dedicated jute museum in the UK, and the Category A listed courtyard mill still keeps its original layout and many original features.

Tip: Allow at least 1.5 hours, and enter your car registration in the café area if you park on site, as parking is enforced by a private company. Booking ahead saves 10%.

Broughty Castle stands on the banks of the River Tay in Broughty Ferry, Dundee. It was completed around 1495, and its four-floor tower house sits at the centre of the site. The castle is a scheduled monument, and its position at the mouth of the river made it important to anyone wanting to control Dundee and the towns upriver.
