Dundee
Dundee is easily accessible from the main tourist route North from Edinburgh, and is well placed with road, rail, and air links. It is only a few minutes drive from St Andrews, the home of golf, and the famously haunted Glamis Castle.
UNICORN is berthed in Dundee’s attractive Victoria Dock, right next to the Tay Road Bridge. She is only a few minutes walk from the Rail and Bus Stations and the City Centre, and is linked to RRS Discovery by a riverfront walkway.

Parking
Our convenient car park has now been built over, so visitors can either take a chance to find a space by the ship or they can park in the large car park on the north side of Victoria Dock and walk through the City Quay shopping centre, over the bridge walkway and thus reach the ship by water!
