You may remember our crowdsourced guide to Dundee from last year. We asked you what the must-see places were in the city and, with your answers, produced 99 Things To See And Do In Dundee – a guide that acts as an insider’s look of Dundee for the increasing number of visitors to the city. It is also a great resource if you live in Dundee but want to make sure you’re not missing anything!

This year we would like to update the guide with new places that have popped up since last year or were not present in the first edition, and just like last time, we need your help! Have a look at the guide here or at the marked map of the city and full list of spots below:

What is missing from our current list? 

Please take a few moments to add your views, which we will collate into a free guide available to download online. The deadline for submissions is 9am Monday 8th May.
