Howff Dundee Scotland

Mary Queen of Scots, bestowed this tract of land to the people of Dundee. Although a bit strange and eerie, this historic cemetery is noted for the number of trade guild headstones it holds. Visitors can see the detailed decorative work that went into the Victorian tombs that mark each guild members.

The Howff burial ground was formerly part of the lands of the Greyfriars granted by Mary Queen of Scots to the burgh of Dundee. The name Howff (meeting place) derives from the fact that the Dundee Incorporated Trades met here until 1776.
