Torrie SCOTTISH BURGH SURVEY 1988 ------------------------------------------------ Contents The Castle Town Defences Churches, Chapels and Religious Houses Commercial and Institutional Organisation Crafts, Industries and Water Supply Harbour Tables of Appendices 2, 3 & 4 THE CASTLE (Site of) NO 4043 3028 Historical Evidence Dundee Castle was built on a hill of black dolerite jutting into the Tay. Most physical evidence of the site was blasted away in the early 19th century to make way for Castle Street, but St Paul's Episcopal Church, High Street, still clings to a small portion of this dolerite exposure. Its existence is implied in the early 13th century by the name Castle Wynd but the first documentary evidence of the castle is in 1290 when Brian FitzAlan was made custodian of the castles of Forfar and Dundee.1 Lamb argues that the fortification was extensive, and maintained at least 130 knights and horseman within its walls. This may be supported by the details of provisioning of the castle in various records, but in particular from the English Exchequer Rolls of the reign of Edwards I and II, although all provisions would not necessarily be destined solely for the occupants of the castle, but possibly also for retainers nearby.2 Taken by the English at the beginning of the Wars of Independence, the castle was then successfully seized by Sir Alexander Scrymgeour who was, in reward, made hereditary constable of the castle of Dundee in 1298 by William Wallace.3 It has been claimed that the castle was destroyed on the instruction of Wallace.

Located just slightly west of the Tay road and rail bridges that cross the river to Dundee, the town initially grew as wealthy jute barons of 19th century Dundee sought quieter, cleaner surroundings in which to live. Newport-on-Tay was a highly desirable suburb of Dundee after the first Tay Rail Bridge was built in 1878 and the public buildings such as the old ferry terminus and the grand Victorian villas on the hillside reflect these times.

    Dundee's Tree & Woodland Heritage

    Dundee’s Tree Woodland Heritage& 1 A Green City Introduction This short publication aims to make residents and visitors more aware of Dundee’s rich arboricultural heritage. s Trees and woods provide a unique living t s e r legacy, reflecting the evolution of the City o l f a i c over the centuries. r e m m o e c l A visit to some of the sites listed will b a n i a provide glimpses into the history t s u of Dundee, and an introduction to d s n d a some colourful characters from the e g a n past; merchants, heroes, explorers, a y m l b revolutionaries, industrialists and i s n o everyday people. Every location has its p s e own part to play in making Dundee’s m r o r d f special sense of place. e c r u o l s a i r There can be few cities in the world e t a which can boast their own unique form s m n i a t of tree. Dundee is privileged in this n o n c respect to have the Camperdown Elm, o i t a c i now widely grown around the world as l b u a cultivar. This, along with the rest of s p i h n t Dundee’s rich green legacy, is something i r e p of which Dundonians should be a e p h justifiably proud.
