DARK DUNDEE

Follow our local tour guides as we take you on a history tour which places strong emphasis on Dundee’s dark and murky past.

From riots and rebellions to murders, ghosts and witches, this tour highlights only the very worst in our bloody battle for survival against overwhelming odds.

From our starting point at the Howff graveyard, let us take you into the world of the dead and the dying. Disease, death and execution will be on the menu – with a side order of Vikings and some body-snatching!

We’ll end at the City Square, and you’ll never believe what’s been right in front of you, and underneath you, the whole time.

You’ll find no jute, jam or journalism on our Crimes of Passion tour – just murder, mayhem and mystery! Starting outside the DCA we explore mediaeval punishments for crimes of passion, then dive into the 19th century’s most infamous murders in Dundee.

Who is guilty, who is innocent, and who got away with murder?

Tours last for 1hr and take place in the city centre, starting just outside the DCA, and ending at the Howff graveyard – see the map for start and end locations.

Overlooking Dundee and the surrounding countryside, the Law has been hiding a treasure trove of dark secrets for eons. From 415 million years ago until the early 1900’s, we discuss the formation of the Law itself as well as a brutal list of sexual assaults, murder, suicide, riots, war and ancient graves before taking in the views from her summit.

We start and end this tour at the car park halfway up the Law, as we’re not daft enough to walk you (or ourselves) all the way from the bottom to the top, but don’t think there’s limited walking involved in this tour – we are on a hill, after all and we’ll be aiming for the top! This walk is not suitable for those with limited mobility due to the terrain. Please also note that new stairs and handrails have recently been fitted to allow easier walking access, so the walk up is very secure (but still a ‘killer’).
