Lemmings Statues

Highlight • Structure

Artwork by Alyson Conway (2013). "The characters celebrate the video games industry in Dundee through the ground breaking global success of a computer game created in the early 1990s by Dundee-based DMA Design. The game was conceived and developed in the Nethergate. These three small bronze sculptures can be found at the top of the steps leading to the digital media park. The idea behind their placement is that they have ‘wandered out of their birthplace’. Made at Powderhall Bronze Foundry" Source: publicartdundee.org/listing/lemmings

Tay Rail Bridge

The V&A is a magnificent building that showcases the best of Scottish design, and the RRS Discovery is a ship that was built in 1901 for scientific purposes in the Polar regions. It went on its first expedition between 1901 and 1904 to Antarctica, and now stands in the Firth of Ray for visitors to enjoy its grandeur.
