View all →About This Event
On 3 October 2026, a self-guided audio tour explores Dundee's history and heritage starting from the V&A Dundee at 1 Riverside Esplanade. Participants follow a route through winding lanes that connects landmarks such as the RRS Discovery, the cathedral spires, and the Overgate Centre. The experience reveals tales of polar expeditions, local conspiracies, and historical figures hidden within familiar cityscapes. Admission costs £5.99 for this outdoor event.
Beneath Dundee’s riverside shimmer lies a city forged in adventure and whispered secrets. Every street holds more than meets the eye if you know where to listen. Set out on a self-guided audio tour that turns familiar landmarks into gateways of intrigue. Follow winding lanes from the awe-inspiring RRS Discovery to soaring cathedral spires and buzzing modern arcades, hearing tales most passersby never uncover. What desperate act turned a polar expedition into a fight for survival? Who hid messages in plain sight at the Diocese of Brechin while conspiracies stirred? What absurd rule once sparked outrage inside the Overgate Centre’s bustling walls? Trace footsteps of rebels, visionaries, and those nearly lost to history. Each step pulses with energy as hidden drama rises up from cobblestones and shopping arcades alike. The past breathes anew in cityscapes you thought you knew. The stories beneath Dundee’s surface are waiting. Press play and dive beneath.
