Living in Dunedin
Dunedin is a charming waterfront town with Scottish heritage, a bustling main street lined with independent shops and breweries, and the Pinellas Trail running right through downtown.
It's the spring-training home of the Toronto Blue Jays and the gateway to Honeymoon and Caladesi Islands — two of Florida's best state-park beaches.
