About Dudhope Castle

Dudhope Castle is a large L-shaped mansion built to the west of the city centre of Dundee. This extended late-medieval tower house is located on the southern face of The Law and was built in the late 13th century by the Scrymageour family. The castle was redeveloped between 1985 and 1988, and is now in use as offices and a conference centre as well as housing the University of Abertay's Dundee Business School.

The HowffThe Howff Cemetery, now a protected monument on Ward Road, Dundee City, was formerly an orchard of the Greyfriars' monastery, and was licensed to be used as a burial ground by Mary Queen of Scots in 1564. The graveyard is highly unusual by Scottish standards, containing a high number of Roman-style coffer tombs. It also contains a high number of inscriptions which philosophise on death itself rather than discussing the person interred.

The Law is what remains of a volcanic sill, which is the result of volcanic activity around 400 million years ago. With a large war memorial at its summit, it is the most prominent feature on the local skyline. Archaeological evidence of burials suggest that the Law may have been used by human settlers 3500 years ago. During the Iron Age it was the site of a Pictish settlement.
