Dundee Guide. rom this guide, the soul of Dundee becomes revealed. Architecture being social history in stone, the four hundred plus colour and black and white illustrations – drawings, engravings, photographs, paintings and sketches – show how Dundee's fortunes have ebbed and flowed. This guide outlines the history and character of Dundee through its architecture, and through anecdotes of the people and events that shaped its history: jute, jam and journalism, war, water and weaving. It is designed to be enjoyed: put in pockets and taken round the streets to gaze at this carving, that spire and the next motto. Dundee is very mixed: a small urban centre encompassed by lovely parks, glorious countryside, remote villages, and one of the most inspiring Technology Parks in Scotland. Does Dundee live up to its status as the fourth city in Scotland? Read this book and find out. Dundee: An Illustrated Architectural Guide
