=== Vacation in Tayside and Dundee === Tayside is best known for its sublime lowland beauty in which the several cities that dot the region are nestled in calmly and comfortably. Dundee, the region’s main transport and trade hub, is a prime example of the harmony that exists in Tayside; it’s modern buildings and high-tech industries contrast and compliment the countryside and natural beauty that surrounds the city, with both coming together to create a uniquely beautiful cityscape that impresses and charms visitors time and time again. Known for its beautiful greenery and rolling countryside, Tayside offers you the chance to experience the heart of Scotland while never having to stray too far away from the city. The Dundee Law, as it is called, is one of Dundee’s most characteristic features and yet another city attraction that brings a touch of the countryside to the middle of a modern urban area. The Law, taking its name from the Gaelic word for a hill or mound, is the plug of an ancient volcano that rises up from the ground in the middle of Dundee and adds a beautiful touch of green majesty to the city. A tourist favourite, the Law features a war memorial and exquisite views from its peak and means you can follow all your favourite active countryside pursuits without ever having to leave the city limits if you want to get out the climbing boots and binoculars.
