This is the graticule that contains the city of Dundee, Scotland, in the United Kingdom. It is situated at latitude 56, longitude -2.

It includes among other places:

Dundee
Stonehaven
Montrose
St Andrews
Arbroath
Leuchars
North Berwick
Dunbar
parts of Cupar

It also contains a considerable amount of water. Anyone wishing to go exploring these particular bodies of waters is generally advised against it. They're not particular safe places to go boating. Or for those who don't really want to go for the elusive Water Geohash achievement there are also plenty of chances for the MNIMB Geohash, MNB Geohash or Golf Geohash!
