Changes

The fourth largest city in Scotland, '''Dundee''', which lies on the northern bank of the [[River Tay|Firth of Tay]], is a [[post-industrial]] city whose glories lie, sadly, in the past. Once known as the city of the three Js - Jute, Jam, and Journalism - Dundee is a shadow of its former self. The manufacture of linoleum from jute fibres has entirely vanished, while the production of marmalade from [[Seville]] oranges has likewise ceased to be a major industry in the city. All that remains is the third J - journalism. In this branch of industry, Dundee has continued to hold its own, largely owing to the efforts of Messers D.C. Thompson and Sons, the publishers of such organs as the Scots Magazine (the longest-running journal in the world), the Sunday Post "Scotland's Favourite Toaley Rag" and renowned for long-running comic strips The Broons and Oor Wullie,  and the People's Friend.
