Highlights of Scotland
Scotland on the WWW
Apart from my Scotland pages -- with some of the
photos I took during holidays in Scotland and during my
stay in Dundee --
there is of course much more available on the Web about Scotland.
This page profides many links to other Web sites. The whole thing is a bit
of a shambles, as it is not very organised: it grew over time from just
adding links.
Really ought to sort things out (and check if all links still
work), but don't seem to get around doing that ... sorry!

Cities and regions
First of all a link to
Dundee City, with info and
pictures,
the place where I lived for two years.
The Dundee Heritage Trust "was formed in January 1985 to preserve and present Dundee's
industrial past" and manages Captain Scott's famous ship
Discovery
and Verdant Works,
a living museum of textiles.
And Dundee has The Old Steeple or
St. Mary's
Tower, Scotland's highest surviving medieval church tower in Scotland.
See also the Web site of the
University of Dundee.

Guide provided more information about Scotland, for instance:

A very typically Scottish thing is of course the Highland Games, held at
different places throughout the year and really worth visiting, I'd say.
