Since it began in 1994 this has grown to a capacity of 85,000. The festival takes place over three days between 10 and 12 July 2009 and will feature more than 120 acts. Camping tickets for 2009 have long sold out, however, there are still tickets available for individual days. 2009 sees the return of the Killers on the main stage and new acts such as Lady Ga Ga and the Script. The mighty Kings of Leon are headlining on the Friday and Seasick Steve will be on the main stage on Sunday. Blur and Snow Patrol will be playing on Sunday also. The atmosphere is always electric with lots of things to see and do. The food stalls are amazing and there is always plenty alcohol to go round. This is a fantastic experience and everyone should try it at least once. Just bring wellies and a mac just in case. Even though it's in the summer, it's still Scottish weather that rules!

It also helps to have a car as I can't imagine it's an easy destination to get to with local transport. The car park is of good size. This property belongs to NTS, so if you are not a member they might ask you to pay £2 for parking. It's quite relaxed there with controls. During Easter the younger generation enjoyed a well planned Easter Hunt followed by an adventurous play in the children's playground in the woods. Entry is about £10.50. Please ask for family concession. National Trust members go free. I started with the building first and absorbed it's 650 years of history. Originally it was a tower house and belonged to one of the 5 families that once owned it. Amongst the owners or keepers during the 1800's were the Erskines and Lorimers (famous painters and architects). When walking through the building you can either read about the history of each room or ask a guide to help you. I believe the guides are multi lingual. One of the ladies gave me access to Henry Lorimers tower room in which he painted his famous paintings. It's a very intriguing room. The Lorimers made this castle their home and you can still feel the homely touch around this place. The tearoom is not cheap and you don't get much for your money. Not much food choice either. There are two rooms with tables inside and an outside sitting area, which is lovely when the sun is out. As the sun was shining I also enjoyed a stroll around the walled garden, which by the way is beautiful, even without the summer's touch. Last but not least I made my way out using the woodlands walk. There are also toilets to be found in an outside roundhouse building, which serves it's purpose. It's a lovely family outing for young and youthful adventurers!

The castle itself is a 3 start (especially if you get to go up to the artist studio way up at the…read moretop), but the gardens are absolutely heavenly and worthy of all 5. We went in early Sept and and it was like walking into a flower wonderland. In April, things are just beginning to bloom, but I would think anytime during the summer would be perfect. And you can visit the gardens any time you want--just pop a few quid into the honor box and enter the garden through the little door. Secret surprise the first time we went and discovered the castle was closed. Also fun places for kids to play and a nice cafe if the castle is open. Also a nice view of the sea from the front.

The regular demonstrations/talks on through each day sounded good, as did the option to have kids birthday parties in the place. Definitely a good option if you want to keep the kids engaged and occupied at a reasonable price.

In fact she was asked to "make something up from the other dishes on the menu" Not what you expect from a restaurant charging £50 a head minimum. Non vegetarian food was highly average in a rather pretentious way. Also, it is small and noisy, not noisy in an atmospheric way, just irritating chair scraping and hearing other diner's conversations. Toilets are in the basement, down two flights of stairs.

The restaurant is actually quite small but on the other had it is very pleasant and really cosy. If you just fancy a few drinks then you will also be made welcome at the bar. The decor is actually quite posh and you feel like you are in a more upper class restaurant. For me the menu is not that great, they offer some decent meals and do a fairly decent A La Carte menu but I think the prices are a little on the steep side. The staffs are all very nice and friendly; if you are going to the theatre or having a classy night then it's worth a visit.

First-Hand Experience: I've only seen Dundee FC play once... and it was hosting their crosstown rivals Dundee United, and what a cauldron it was! An absolutely thrilling fixture! I like United's colours, spirit, fans, stadium and history better than DFC, but I still really respect this club and the passion of their supporters. And I had a great time in their stadium, and nobody tried to kill me despite me wearing an orange shirt... so for that I will give them a solid four stars. I haven't been back inside the stadium since that awesome match in 2011, but I will be going here again soon. I visited the ground briefly in 2014 and relived the memories, but not on a match day. Next time I go, hopefully it will be for my second match experience here! Dundee is half of the city of Dundee, the other half being Dundee United. They play in ugly dark blue and were formed in 1893. They are in the Scottish Premier. They play to 11.5k and are 300 yards away from their great rivals. Under Bob Shankly in 1962 they amazingly won the Scottish Premier title, which is the only time they've ever won it. They got to the Semi Final of the European Cup the following season. They were runners up in the league 4 times, but not since they won it. They won the Scottish Cup in 1910, and were runners up 4 times including 64 and 2003. They won the Scottish League Cup 3 times and were runners up 3 times. They are known as the Dees. In that regard, they are exactly like my gf who is known for her Ds, though not for long.
