Dundonians, we are pretty amazing. Despite our city continuing to face many challenges, it goes back to the saying that was coined 60 years ago, it is a place of new hope.

When we face challenges, we confront them, and if we get knocked down, we get back up and come out stronger!

It is a place of new hope. It is a city that gets knocked down but gets back up on its feet again. From the bustling jute industry to becoming a global tech hub, Dundee has went through an extraordinary change

Dundee has made a HUGE impact on the world, the things we have invented, pioneered and developed is nothing short of incredible! The incandescent light bulb, statistical graphs, the postage stamp, aspirin, aviation to name just a few!

The poem, which was later adapted into a song was written in honour of John Graham of Claverhouse, Viscount Dundee, and equally refers to our bonnie town of Dundee!
