Galerie Shiraz on Tour 2019 : Day 16 Friday - Dundee and St Andrews

Back to Bathgate after our Royal Deeside sojourn, the satnav took us unto 2000ft and into the clouds with a pea souper mist. Then we came to Fettercairn and it’s Royal Arch, built to celebrate Queen Vic and Alberts visit in 1861 mind you it took them two years to build it!

Onto Dundee and the squeezist multi story car park we’ve come across, had to park on the roof to find a spot with room to fit the car. The waterfront, like a lot of towns, has been renovated with the new V&A museum and a birth for the Discovery. This was Scott’s ship which was purpose built for his Antarctic expedition in 1901-04 in Dundee, it was also the last traditional three masted wooden ship to be constructed in the UK.

Then down the coast to St Andrews to which there is a lot more than the Golf Course. It is a lovely little town with its Castle and Cathedral, we managed to find some free parking at the harbour and although it soft rained for a little while the sun eventually came out and it turned into a nice visit.
