Dudhope Castle, one of Dundee's oldest buildings, has a magnificent location on an escarpment overlooking the city. The original house was built in the 13th century as home of the Scrymgeour family who were appointed Hereditary Constables of Dundee by William Wallace. In 1683, John Graham of Claverhouse, known as Bonnie Dundee, acquired both the castle and the title of Hereditary Constable. He led the Jacobites to victory Killiecrankie in 1689 although he died in the battle.
The castle was converted to be used as a woollen mill in 1792 but the scheme never took off. It was then used as a barracks between 1796 and 1881 and then abandoned. The Corporation of Dundee eventually took over the castle, and latterly it has been redeveloped and restored. Surrounded by public parkland, it now houses the Dundee Business School of the University of Abertay.
Please note, Temporary Approval requires to be sought if you would like to use the castle for your ceremony.
