Here you will find both the V&A museum and the RRS Discovery.

The V&A is a magnificent building that showcases the best of Scottish design, and the RRS Discovery is a ship that was built in 1901 for scientific purposes in the Polar regions. It went on its first expedition between 1901 and 1904 to Antarctica, and now stands in the Firth of Ray for visitors to enjoy its grandeur.

Take a break from your ride and have a look at RRS Discovery. She was explorer Captain Scott's ship but also undertook many amazing adventures after his demise. The museum has lots of information and the ship itself is awesome to see. She was made in Dundee.
Open every day but shorter opening hours over the winter. There is an entry fee if you want to go inside.
