• Dundee Tour or School Tour

    I got on a hop on bus in Dundee and on its second stop an entire class of 7-8 year old students got on the bus for their end of year trip.

    Up hill to Law and down and around and over the bridge… and back again. About an hour long ride.

    I learned:
    Dundee processed Jute from India into jute used in rugs and in ropes.
    The mascot of the city is a penguin. Why exactly wasn’t explained but there are penguins all over the city.
    There is a distinct dialect in Dundee called Dundonian

    Then back to the train and home to Edinburgh

    Here are a few things I heard from the students on the bus.
    This is brilliant
    I go over this bridge to my grannies house. Maybe we can visit her.
    I’ve never been on a bus
    I didn’t know busses had headphones
    I’m so wet but I don’t want to go inside
