Dundee is the fourth largest city in Scotland and it expanded greatly in size during the industrial revolution thanks to the Jute industry which employed most of Dundee's population until its decline in the late 20th Centaury.

Dundee was also well known for Jam and Journalism, the Jam association came from the production of marmalade where the product was supposed to have been invented back in 1797 by Janet Keiller. As for journalism the well respected D.C Thompson's was founded here in 1905 and it has published popular comics the Beano and Dandy and the Sunday Post newspaper.
