Known as ‘the city of discovery' thanks to science activities that have greatly developed over the years, Dundee is the 4th biggest city in Scotland. Initially a small medieval town, Dundee started expanding in the 19th century thanks to the jute industry — in fact, it used to be referred to as ‘the land of jute, jam and journalism'. Nowadays, Dundee is predominant in fields such as biomedical industries and technology, has been designated as the 1st British city for design by the UNESCO (thanks to its significant contribution in various fields, namely medical research, comics and video game) and recently added a new, prestigious V&A Museum into its significant list of cultural offerings. However, the city still struggles with a high unemployment rate.
