The Times named Dundee's West End the best place to live in Scotland in 2024, citing its independent shops and cafés on Perth Road, the proximity to green spaces including Magdalen Green and the Tay waterfront, and its creative atmosphere driven by the Duncan Jordanstone College of Art and Design right in the neighbourhood. For University of Dundee students, it means your campus is in the best-rated neighbourhood in the country — and you can walk to lectures.
