Monifieth today shares a contiguous border with Dundee. Prior to the 19th century though, it was a small village. It was the establishment and growth of the textile, sea and jute industries in the nearby and wider area that brought more prosperity and people to the town as well as nearby Dundee and set Monifieth on the path to what we know it as today.
The town’s proximity to Dundee naturally means many of the residents travel to Dundee for work or for study.

There is also a shopping area to be found in the high street, which has a variety of independent local businesses, cafes and bars to enjoy.
Monifieth is also noted as a significant golfing centre, with its links course being used as a qualifier for the British Open Championship which is held at nearby Carnoustie.

The road offers onward connections to the south by way of the Tay Road Bridge, and north to Stonehaven and Aberdeen.

The town has its own railway station – Monifieth Station – on the Edinburgh to Aberdeen line with regular services to both. There are also regular bus services operating for travel to Arbroath and Dundee and smaller nearby settlements.
