It was once described to me by an Edinburgh VC as Realtime, plus 50 two-person startups, many in the games and mobile space. (Vis of Earthworm Jim fame used to be there, too.) It's a high-tech hub, with Abertay Uni running a highly successful games development course and Dundee Uni running the NESTA-backed Starter for 6 scheme that supports up to 20 new companies per year. A deal of this scale is a considerable breakthrough, which should do well for Scotland as a whole. I visit Dundee quite often, thanks to family connections.
