Andrew Bachelor, aged 13, the city's
first young ambassador and founder of
Facebook channel, Dundee: A City of
Culture, said: "Dundee is a city
everyone should love. What I love
about the city is the Waterfront, it has a
good view and a great atmosphere, it's
really impressive at night. I also love
going to The Law with my family. I'm
honoured to be a city ambassador and
will continue to post things on my
Facebook channel about Dundee."
