Who can't resist a Scottish Castle, and they are even better when entry is free! The castle gives you great views along the beach and the harbour, in the summer months you can often spot dolphins. Broughty Ferry is a great area to have a walk round as well with some great shops, pubs and restaurants. The Castle Green also has a large play area for kids.
