Discovery Walk

Discovery Walk is a series of plaques honouring the achievements of scientists, innovators and social reformers in Dundee.

There are currently fifteen plaques situated in the pavement of Slessor Gardens, opposite the V & A Museum.

The first ten plaques were installed in April 2016 and a further five were installed in April 2018. With detailed illustrations from local artist Suzanne Scott (Whimsical Lush), Discovery Walk is an ambitious demonstration of the bronze casting process while explaining why the city of Dundee is truly "One City with Many Discoveries".
