Dundee - City of Discovery
While Dundee obviously isn't part of
St.Andrews, it seems worthy of mention as the closest city, partner
university with St. Andrews, and a personal favorite destination
with my family. The Olympia Centre is an awesome leisure centre
with swimming facilities including wave machine, and 5 different
water slides (some of which are clearly visible in the panorama
above). Discovery
Point allows one to tour the ship Discovery which took Captain
Scott to the South Pole (sadly, shortly after Roald Amundsen)
The panorama shows ... Captain Scott's ship,
Discovery; the Olympia Center; the Tay Road Bridge (toll 80p southbound
only); the coast of Fife on the opposite bank of the River Tay;
and the Tay Rail Bridge. The original Tay Rail Bridge collapsed
during a storm resulting in great loss of life to passengers on
the train crossing at the time.
