Chris
Can anyone tell me of any good spots in or around dundee for wild camping?
Answer
You don't have to travel far for that from Dundee....if you mean the Scottish one.
There are plenty of hills around with good views and lots of suitable places to camp, easy to reach from the city.

High-ish and a good walk are the twin peaks of Dreish and Mayar,both Munro's.
You could put the tent up in Glen Doll and use that for a base.
Piccies of the glen and Mayar on here

Along the coast there are places to camp on the beach or on the cliffs, or inland a bit where it's more sheltered.
The Tay has some lovely spots though not all of it is available for camping.
The hills are good to camp on but beach camping has the benefit of an easy dinner available if you take a rod and ine.

Can I wild camp in Switzerland?
Ben
I will be long-distance walking from Italy to Zurich. I would like to try to sleep in the forest along my route. I will not be making a fire, nor setting up a tent.
I know that this is illegal in Switzerland, but what if I get permission from the landowner? Also, are there any dangerous animals?
Answer
Actually, wild camping is not generally illegal in Switzerland.
Regulations on camping in the wild differ greatly between municipalities and cantons as well as wildlife reservation areas. In some places, local regulations or environmental protection laws prohibit camping (for instance in protected landscapes or hunting grounds -the latter taking your own safety into consideration!). As a rule of thumb, camping above the tree-line is ok in most places.
To be on the safe side, be wary of any signs posted along footpaths and ask for information at a local tourist office or town hall. I believe a good alternative is to just ask farmers/land owners for permission (like you stated), and you should be fine.
