Dundee Discoveries past and present


"Dundee Discoveries past and present" is a series of self-guided walking tours through pioneering scientific research in medicine, biology, forensics, nursing and dentistry from the past to the present.

Dundee is now celebrated internationally for its pioneering work in medical sciences, in particular the University of Dundee’s ground-breaking research into cancer, diabetes, drug development and surgical techniques. 

But the city has many more amazing stories of innovation and discovery in medicine and biology, past and present, and the three walking tours presented here will introduce you to some of the most extraordinary.

The tour maps from the University of Dundee are available to download at https://discovery.dundee.ac.uk/ws/portalfiles/portal/54367127/DD_guide_final.pdf and there's one covering the area round the University of Dundee and one around Ninewells.
