Douglas and Angus (commonly referred to as Douglas) is an area of Eastern Dundee, Scotland. It is located between Whitfield to the North and Broughty Ferry to the East.
In the eastern part of Douglas is the distinctive Michelin Tyre factory which was the first factory in the U.K. to produce tyres by using energy from wind power.[1] The two tall wind turbines on the factory site can be seen from many places around Dundee and the surrounding area.
