Dundee is an industrial town of eastern Scotland. Dundee is
situated on the north shore of the Firth of Tay, with good port facilities and
road and rail communications over the Tay Bridges. It is the chief linen, hemp
and jute manufacturing town of Great Britain; coarse cloths, sacking, carpets
and linoleum are produced. Fruit-growing in the Carse of Gowrie nearby has led
to a jam-making industry, which now includes the production of marmalade from
imported oranges. Thus sugar is among the many imported raw materials handled
in the docks. Engineering works, machine works for the jute industry,
shipyards, sawmills and paper-mills are included among the town's varied
activities.
