The Howff

A sealed window on its exterior appears to indicate this was either a watch-house or part of the original meeting house prior to the vault being built (c. 1630).

Of the 80,000 burials in the Howff around 3% are classed as "foreign" but many simply bear this label due to birth at sea, reflecting Dundee's maritime heritage.

As an odder distinction, some 10% of the deaths are specifically recorded as "Irish burials", largely labourers in the early 19th century.

Firstly the construction of Dundee's inner ring road in the 1960s cut through the site, and this was followed by the erection of a multi-storey car park over the New Hoff's southern end.

Some grave stones were saved and positioned against its western wall which had originally been the boundary between the cemetery and the Dundee and Newtyle Railway.
