About Dundee
Dundee is THE perfect place to explore Scotland from. It’s slap bang in the middle, making it easy to venture out to nearby places like St Andrews and Perthshire as well as cities including Edinburgh or Aberdeen.
Dundee, located on the north bank of the River Tay on Scotland’s east coast, is a city renowned for its innovation, creativity, and rich industrial heritage. Often referred to as the “City of Discovery,” Dundee has a long-standing reputation for pioneering achievements in science, technology, and design. The nickname honors the RRS Discovery, the research ship used by Captain Scott for his Antarctic expedition, which is now preserved and displayed at Discovery Point, one of the city’s most iconic attractions.
Historically, Dundee was a major center for the jute industry during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The city’s industrial prominence was built around the “three Js”—jute, jam, and journalism. While the jute mills were the backbone of Dundee’s economy, the city was also known for its production of marmalade and as the home of DC Thomson, a publishing company responsible for beloved publications like The Beano and The Dandy.
In recent years, Dundee has reinvented itself as a cultural and creative hub. The opening of the V&A Dundee in 2018, Scotland’s first design museum and the only V&A museum outside London, has transformed the city’s waterfront and attracted global attention. The striking building, designed by Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, reflects Dundee’s ambition to blend its historical roots with a forward-thinking, artistic vision.
Dundee is also known for its contributions to the fields of biomedical research and video game development. The University of Dundee and Abertay University are globally recognized for their research and innovation, particularly in life sciences and computer games technology. In fact, some of the world’s most popular video games, like Grand Theft Auto, originated from Dundee’s gaming industry.
Beyond its industrial and cultural landmarks, Dundee offers a vibrant social scene, with bustling cafes, restaurants, and music venues. The city’s elevated location on the banks of the Tay provides stunning views across the estuary, and nearby attractions like the Law Hill—a volcanic plug rising above the city—offer panoramic vistas. Dundee is also an excellent base for exploring the surrounding Angus countryside and the picturesque towns along the east coast of Scotland.
TESTme Health offers allergy, food intolerance and rapid health testing straight to your door.

Iain Gallacher (Dundee Nov 20th 2024)
I’ve had gut health issues on and off for ages and after no luck from GP appointments in Dundee. I knew I needed to take matters into my own hands. This was easier said than done with lots of companies over-promising and under-delivering. I ended up pressing pause on finding a solution.
After a good friend passed on Iona’s details, raving about the service. I instantly knew this was THE solution. From my first point of contact, Iona was professional and friendly, but more importantly empathetic and charismatic. The process is simple and you can tell Iona has put a lot of thought into streamlining the service within Dundee and beyond.
Iona posted a test out to my home address and then once completed, I shipped to a lab for processing. The results came back quickly, and detailed what foods were problematic and what foods weren’t. This was exactly what I was looking for, and what I tried to find for years.
I can now look ahead and plan meals that won’t affect the rest of my day, my mood, my lifestyle. Iona may just say she’s “doing her job” but she goes above and beyond to help her clients get back to feeling good and gaining some clarity over issues they’ve probably pushed aside in their busy lives.
If you’ve suffered with gut or other health issues, please contact Iona today – highly recommend her and the service she provides!!

Alyson Gates (Dundee Sept 22nd 2024)
I went on a return trip to TESTme in Sept24 with my husband as he was having health problems. Hoping Iona can sort him out as she did me!
I went to Iona in June 2023 (over a year ago) suffering from migraines every fortnight which lasted 2-3 days. I had had every avenue explored by the doctor, including a brain scan, being told it is probably my age, etc. A friend then recommended Iona at TESTme Health. As anyone who suffers from migraines knows, one will try anything to stop them.
Following the consultation and allergy test with Iona, I immediately went home and changed my diet – no dairy, no eggs and no gluten. To say it has been life-changing is an understatement. I’ve not had a migraine since – have had the odd headache when I didn’t read the labels and consumed something which contained gluten.
I am fine with eggs now, having introduced them into my diet after 6mths. I’ve had dairy these past 4mths, but only if I am out in a restaurant.
Definitely not gluten as that is the root cause of my migraines from the one or two pitfalls I’ve had since June 2023.
Well worth the trip and money, which is why I have my husband attending this month to sort his health problems out too.
