There are opportunities for both sea and river fishing, cycling, hillwalking, skiing in the winter at Glenshee and you can even learn to traction kite at Lunan bay.

There is lots to see and do in Dundee, all year round: you can visit Captain Scott's Antarctic expedition ship Discovery, the Verdant Works, or McManus Galleries.
