Dundee isn’t just a city—it’s a way of life. Whether you’ve grown up here or lived here long enough to feel like an honorary Dundonian, there are certain things you just ken.

So, if you find yourself nodding along to this list, braw — yer definitely a true Dundonian!

2. Ye'll ken never to cross the Balgay Bridge in the dead of night after the scary white lady that supposedly haunts there

   
   

3. Ye'll ken that it is called the Dundee Law, the Law - or the La', not the Law Hill as "law" means "hill" in Scots, so you're basically saying "hill hill"

12. Ye'll ken that multis come across as an exclusive word for high-rise tenements in Dundee

    
    

13. Ye'll ken that the local newspaper is called "The Tully", not the "Evening Telegraph"

    
    

14. Ye'll ken that Dundonian is a 'second language' in its own right - and not to let others tell you otherwise

    
    

15. Ye'll ken that going to Broughty Ferry and visiting its iconic beach on hot day was like the Mediterranean holiday back in the day
