Dudhope Castle
Dudhope Castle is one of Dundee’s oldest buildings and sits overlooking the city, beneath the volcanic plug – the Dundee Law. The house was originally built in the 13th century as the home of the Scrymageour family, who had been appointed Hereditary Constables of Dundee by William Wallace. The original building was replaced around 1460 and then by the current structure in 1580. In 1683, both the castle and the office of Hereditary Constable were acquired by John Graham of Claverhouse, Bonnie Dundee, the Jacobite commander who died at the Battle of Killiecranki
