💰Dundee’s iconic Discovery Point has been awarded £3.5m of funding.
👷It’s part of phase two of its redevelopment which will see a cafe and two new exhibitions open at the visitor centre.
🎥 Our reporter @DaleEaton_ was there to find out more.

Built in Dundee, launched in 1901 RRS Discovery carried explorers and researchers including Captain Scott and Shackleton through the harshest conditions.
Now with National Lottery players we're supporting its latest adventure: Discovery Point Transformed heritagefund.org.uk/projects…

If you haven't made a plan for the long weekend our website might spark some ideas.
Over the last 30 years we've supported heritage in Scotland with £1bn of investment raised by #NationalLottery players.
We'll put a link in the thread :)

Thanks to #Fife-based @DiscoveryDundee researcher and volunteer Matthew Ylitalo for sharing the 'forgotten' story of Thomas Cosgrove who went from stealing rags as a boy to being an unsung hero in the rescue of Captain Scott & #Discovery in 1904. See today's print @thecourieruk

❄️💙Support our Christmas Snowball campaign and help our Learning Team plan for the future, as we work to realise our vision for heritage learning that is fun, meaningful & accessible for all.
Working closely with students, teachers, families, and funders, we've been able to...
Offer inclusive and relevant tours and workshops, adapted to the needs and wishes of visiting groups and covering an eclectic range of curriculum and other topics...
And, we've been advocating for wider access to heritage learning, maintaining subsidised rates for all state schools in Dundee and the most deprived areas of Scotland (SIMD 2020) and awarding 47 travel bursaries at the point of need.
By supporting Dundee Heritage Trust today, you can help us continue to do all of these things - and so much more! - to preserve and portray Dundee's amazing heritage in ways that educate, inspire and enlighten.
