We’re small, our name gets mispronounced, and we make kilts look good any day of the week. When someone from out of town asks us where we’re from, we automatically say “Oh, over by Tampa” because we know no one knows where we are. Though not as well-known as our neighbors Tarpon Springs and Clearwater, those who grew up in the quaint little town of Dunedin held immense pride in its quirky, hometown feel. It has character. A certain charm that somehow works by combining Scottish pride, tourism, and beaches. If you were fortunate enough to call this place your home, here’s 12 things you’ll automatically be able to relate to if you grew up in Dunedin, Florida.
