About Kirkton

Kirkton is a post-war housing scheme in the north of Dundee, developed from the late 1940s onwards and sitting between Downfield and the Fintry area.

The neighbourhood has local shops, a primary school, and a community centre, and is well served by bus routes running south towards the city centre.

Kirkton has a settled, family-oriented character, and its location on the northern edge of the city gives it a slightly more open feel than many inner-city neighbourhoods.

About Dundee

Dundee City is a compact council area on the north bank of the Firth of Tay, covering Scotland's fourth-largest city and a narrow belt of suburbs stretching east to Broughty Ferry and west to Invergowrie.

The city has undergone one of the most dramatic transformations in urban Scotland, with the opening of V&A Dundee in 2018 anchoring a waterfront regeneration that has reshaped the city's image and economy.

Dundee has a long history of industry — jute, jam, and journalism were the famous 'three Js' — and that heritage has given way to strengths in life sciences, digital technology, and video games, with the city home to the studios that created Grand Theft Auto and Lemmings.

The University of Dundee and Abertay University give the city a large student population and a research base that punches well above the city's weight, particularly in medical research, art, and design.

Despite its city status, Dundee is remarkably compact — most neighbourhoods are within a few miles of the centre, and the Tay Road Bridge, the railway station, and the A90 connect it quickly to Fife, Perth, and Aberdeen.
