Here's something a little different.

It wasn't always gorgeous weather during our stay around the East Neuk of Fife. When it was more gloomy, we headed to Dundee to check the city out.

In particular, the V&A Dundee Museum of Design proved a totally fascinating subject https://www.iancylkowski.com/blog/2025/3/13/the-va-design-museum-dundee-scotland-winter
