Deacon Blue's Ricky Ross lives in a 'great city' with easy access to 'beautiful' parts of the UK

The singer has lived in Dundee at various points in his life, even becoming an ambassador for the northern city.

It is located by the Firth of Tay in the east of Scotland.

The waterfront city has lots to offer and Ricky shared the benefits of living there.

“Dundee is a great city with a proud heritage," he told Dundee.com.

"It's a friendly place with its own humour that always makes me laugh.

"It is located in the perfect place to see so many beautiful parts of Scotland."

​Dundee is an easy journey to stunning parts of Scotland such as Broughty Ferry and Arbroath.

Glasgow is around a 1hr 45min drive away and it takes around 1hr 30min to drive to Edinburgh.

If staying in the city, there are plenty of independent bars and restaurants to enjoy.

The city has fairly affordable house prices, with homes costing an average of £170,795, according to Rightmove.
