Dundee's Turbulent History - From Witchcraft Trials to Votes for Women
This is the site of the long-lost St Clement's Church and Graveyard. We will cover more than 400 years of turbulent Scottish history as we walk. This tour covers a very difficult period, for the city and people of Dundee. As we walk the streets, you will hear stories of devastating invading armies as well as witchcraft persecution and executions - remembered by many Dundonians to this day. We cover a little- known disaster which took many lives in the city centre and finish in the ancient Howff Graveyard. Here, we consider Dundee's connection to the Slave Trade and those terrible witchcraft trials. Meet at the fountains in City Square, Dundee. Information published by Leisure and Culture Dundee.
