Top Attractions in Dundee
💡 Pop into the print studio (ground floor) if open — you might see artists working. The shop sells prints cheaper than in galleries.
💡 Look for the carved skulls and crossbones on the eastern tombstones — they're memento mori symbols, not pirate stuff. Quietest at lunchtime.
💡 Check the basement for the natural history collection — the taxidermy cases are properly old-school and surprisingly good.
💡 Permanent collection is free; special exhibitions are ticketed. The building itself is worth visiting from outside — walk around all four sides.
💡 Go at sunset for the best light over the river. Watch your step on the loose gravel path near the summit.
💡 The castle itself is free to enter — just a short climb up a spiral staircase for cracking views over to Fife. Bus 5 from city centre.
