DUNDEE AMBASSADOR 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."
