The Overgate is the larger of the two main shopping centres in Dundee, with the other being the…read moreWellgate across town. It offers some of the city's larger shops, hosting the likes of Debenhams, Primark, New Look and Topshop. Half of the mall is really bright and airy as there are windows running down the entire wall. It kinda reminded me of an airport (but nicer, of course). There is parking but we didn't use it. From what I've heard it is pretty expensive. We used Gellatly Street which was £8 for 24 hours. Considering the Overgate charges something similar to this for 5 hours and closes overnight, it looks like we made the right call to go somewhere else. The public toilets in the mall are clean and well serviced so we're all good there. I would definitely recommend coming here instead of the Wellgate - the Wellgate is a horrible, dark dungeon.

Like the Wellgate centre that I recently reviewed, the Overgate in Dundee has the famous big name…read moreshops, the Santas grotto at Christmas and the places to eat and drink but what this shopping centre lacks is the atmosphere of the Wellgate. It may be because it is a brand new shopping centre and therefore lacks some of what makes the Wellgate so good but whatever it is there is just something missing from the whole experience of shopping here. That said it does have some wonderful shops such as Sports world, Gap and baby Gap, The Gadget shop, Debenhams and the amazing Lush shop which sells all the wild and wacky soaps and lotions and potions you could imagine. You can smell the wondeful scents coming from the Lush store throughout the building and they are rivalled only by the aroma from the Starbucks coffee shop on the same floor. If you are in Dundee then you must visit here as well as the Wellgate, they both have something different to offer.

With the Overgate centre across town, and Murraygate and the High Street just outside, there seems…read moreno point to the now ancient and decrepit Wellgate centre. I'd imagine that this mall was considered state of the art back in its heyday, but now that Dundee has the modern, glass-fronted Overgate with popular stores such as New Look, Primark, Topshop, Debenhams and JD, everybody goes there. The Wellgate is full of pound shops and fast food restaurants. The layout is a bit weird. You enter on the ground floor then go up some escalators, then walk up another hallway and up another set of escalators. The only really nice feature is the clock in the top floor foyer, which is beautiful. There is also the library which is bright and airy. The toilets in the mall cost 20p but the ones on the top floor of the library are free. Profit should not be made from basic human facilities thank you very much Wellgate! I think I'll stick to the Overgate. The Wellgate is depressing, old and full of chavs whereas the Overgate is a bit more welcoming and upmarket (and also has a Starbucks - very important!)

So the places isn't as nice as Waitrose (which I happen to personally really like) but it gets the job done and it has so much more selection then the one in my town! I just bough so much food there. They have a larger selection of veg, sauces, spirts, foods from around the world and the prices are much cheaper then they are in St. Andrews. Heck there is even a clothing part of the store... I didn't know Tescos sold clothing! AHHH!! They have a good selection of Scottish beers in this store (I brought home 5 new ones to try! VERY EXCITING) though I was a little disappointed that they didn't have any Paulner. They also had the supper large tub of Marmite that they don't sell at the Tescos in St. Andrews and I was in HEAVEN!!! MARMITE HOW I LOVE THEE LET ME COUNT THE WAYS! I even found some soba (one of my favourite things to order when I am at a Japanese restaurant in SF). ***AND EVERYTHING WAS SOO MUCH CHEAPER*** Screw the St. Andrews Tescos, what a freaking conspiracy.

You do need to be on your own (not great with the children) and have time for a good look but there are stylish, unique(ish!) bargains to be found.

Toy side is good too and I only recently realised how good the opening hours are cause it opens late a lot. One negative is that the queues are always long so it can take a while - maybe they should have more staff on!
