An interesting article appeared in last nights Evening Telegraph newspaper in Dundee detailing plans for a £300m "Snow Valley" in Monifieth. If it goes ahead it may provide some compensation for us long suffering scottish skiers/boarders.
"In addition to around 1000 new jobs, it would include a 12-lane swimming pool, 14 tennis courts, 15 basketball courts, two full-size gym halls, two indoor international football pitches, four indoor ski runs and an elite ski course to stage world cup events, four full-size ice pads, snowboarders half pipe, a 13,500-seat arena, an indoor white-water rafting centre and a space centre."
Monifeith is east of Dundee. Further east than Broughty Ferry - both places are sort of dead posh. Great beach at Monifieth - used to go there on hols when I was wee. A nice place.
