Dundee: Area, History and Background

Riding are well acquainted with the United Kingdom, its cities and towns.

Below is some historic, cultural and background information about the area of Dundee in the United Kingdom.

• Dundee is the fourth-largest city in Scotland.
• It is one of Scotland's 32 local government council areas.
• Dundee lies on the north bank of the Firth of Tay, which feeds into the North Sea.
• Evidence suggests it has been continuously occupied since the Mesolithic.
• Dundee developed into a burgh in Medieval times, and expanded rapidly in the 19th century largely due to the jute industry.
• This, along with its other major industries gave it its epithet as the city of "jam, jute and journalism".
• In mid-2006, the population of Dundee was estimated to be 141,930, with a metropolitan population of 159,522.
• Its recorded population reached a peak of 182,204 at the time of the 1971 census, but has since declined due to outward migration.
• Today, Dundee is promoted as the City of Discovery.
• Biomedical and technological industries have arrived since the 1980s, and it now accounts for 10% of the United Kingdom's digital-entertainment industry.
• Dundee greatly expanded in size during the Industrial Revolution mainly because of the burgeoning British Empire trade, flax and then latterly the jute industry.
• Its location on a major estuary allowed for the easy importation of jute from the Indian subcontinent.
• Dundee's maritime and shipbuilding industry was once a major economic force.
