Up north from the area is the nearby Barns of Claverhouse, where local farmhouses and animals are located.

It is accessible from Barns of Claverhouse Road and through the pathway into and past the Emmock Woods housing community.

References to John Graham and his viscountcy were used for street names as part of the Claverhouse Braes community.

The bell has been removed although the clock tower and the chimney of the bleachwork factory still stand in Claverhouse.

Claverhouse is in the North East ward of Dundee City Council, it is represented by Steven Rome and Willie Sawers of the Scottish National Party and Jax Finnegan of the Scottish Labour Party.
