ALTHOUGH EVERYONE IS MOST WELCOME, THOSE USING PRAMS OR WHEELCHAIRS SHOULD PLEASE HAVE SOMEONE TO ASSIST THEM ,OR CHECK IN ADVANCE WHAT ARRANGEMENTS THEY MAY REQUIRE TO MAKE FOR THEMSELVES , IN ORDER TO FULLY ENJOY THE TOUR.
We will lead you safely through some of the numerous wars which have affected our city. You will encounter great courage , terrible betrayal, spy fever and a war time murder trial.
Learn how the city mobilised for total war and of how the workforce pulled together in support. We will discuss the boys of The Mars, The Black Watch, the men and women of The Unicorn and the Submarine bases of the First and Second World Wars. Few realise that HMS Ambrose , Dundee , was the starting point for secret Commando and SOE raids on Norway.
Tours will go ahead irrespective of the weather. Please do take care to dress accordingly including good footwear - we are situated at the Tay estuary , leading to the North Sea. Dundee is, however, the sunniest city in Scotland . It will be fun!
