Britain's Prince William and his wife, Kate, visited a gleaming new design museum on Tuesday as well as a factory facing closure, and praised Dundee residents for pulling together in difficult times.
They met staff at Dundee's Michelin factory, an economic mainstay of the Scottish port for 40 years. Workers are trying to reinvent the factory after news late last year that tire production is to cease.
"When a community faces uncertainty, people feel more optimistic when leaders such as yourselves work together," William told a group of senior staff at the factory.
