Dundee has the dubious distinction of being Scotland’s hottest and sunniest city. But let’s be honest, no one goes to Scotland for the weather. Instead, what keeps people returning every year is the incredible scenery, the wonderful history, and the character of its people, all of which Dundee has in spades. And if you’re organizing a Coach hire trip to Dundee, there is no better way to travel than by coach, using Just Coach Hire, both to truly appreciate the surrounding landscape and to offer a far more flexible and interesting route than by train or plane.

Dundee itself has undergone extensive redevelopment over the last few years and now plays host to a Jazz and Blues festival, as well as being the home for Scotland’s only full time repertory ensemble. The lively and youthful Perth Road area has a number of popular bars and eateries whilst Broughton Ferry is where Dunodians and visitors alike can find quiet beaches and welcoming family pubs serving local food. Dundee’s historical and industrial heritage is based around the famous ‘three J’s’: ‘jute’, ‘jam’ and ‘journalism’. No Coach trip to Dundee is complete without exploring Verdant Works, a fascinating museum that details Dundee’s history of weaving imported jute. The ‘journalism’ refers to national treasures ‘Desperate Dan’ and ‘The Beano’, created and published in Dundee (indeed Dan has his own statue in the city centre); and finally the ‘jam’ refers to Dundee Marmalade, some of the finest marmalade in the world. Other attractions include Discovery Point, where you can walk around Scott’s ill-fated polar exploration vessel, The Discovery, constructed in Dundee in 1900 (as well as other historical artefacts of polar exploration), or The Howff Burial Ground near City Square, with its strange and beguiling Victorian tombstones.

Whether you’re coming to Dundee by coach for a brief visit, or to watch your football team or to play golf (Carnoustie and St Andrews are world famous golf courses nearby), coach hire is the only way to travel. From the stunning journey over the Forth Bridge (soon to be nominated as a UNESCO world heritage site) to the nearby Highland Glens of Angus, travelling by coach is simply the best way to appreciate the areas around Dundee. Why not travel by coach via the Trossachs National park with its craggy hills and incredible wildlife, from falcons and eagles to red deer and wild cats? Or why not take a detour and stop at Loch Lomond, the largest expanse of freshwater in Great Britain and the peaceful heart of the National Park? Alternatively, plan a visit to Stirling Castle, the centrepiece of Scottish History for centuries and a fine example of Renaissance architecture? Or plan a brief stop at Doune Castle, which despite its own incredible history, is most famous for its role in Monty Python and the Holy Grail? Whatever you want to do in Dundee, why not let Just Coach Hire give your trip the freedom and flexibility that neither train nor plane can match, exploring this beautiful area en route, and taking you swiftly and efficiently to wherever your trip requires.
