Dundee is hoping it will replicate the “Guggenheim effect” with the V&A Dundee Museum of Design.

The Guggenheim in Bilbao opened in October 1997.

It has been at the forefront of the city's regeneration and a major factor in the city's emergence as a major tourist destination.

Ahead of the opening of the V&A in Dundee, people in Tayside are looking at the Basque attraction with interest.
