The Howff

If you are someone interested in Dundee's history then this is the perfect place for you. All credits go to the Dundee city council for maintaining this burial ground so nicely. This burial ground was established in 1564 and the majority of graves face exactly due east. The burial ground contains a high number of Roman-style coffee tombs. Burials at the Howff include the architect Samuel Bell and James Chalmers- inventor of the adhesive postage stamp. The Burial ground is just opposite the DC Thompson's building.

(Translated by Google) Very old cemetery. One of the oldest in Scotland. Among the graves there is one on which there are piles of coins. It is said to be from Grissel Jaffray, the last witch who was burned in Dundee and you have coins for good luck. The tomb is a simple stone, about 60 cm high and is located on the right side, as you enter from Meadowside, near a column with an angel above it. (Original) Cimitero antichissimo. Uno dei pi antichi in Scozia. Tra le tombe ce n' una sulla quale si trovano delle pile di monete. Si dice che sia di Grissel Jaffray, l'ultima strega che fu bruciata a Dundee e che l'avete delle monete porti fortuna. La tomba una pietra semplice, alta circa 60 cm e si trova nella zona destra, entrando da Meadowside, vicino ad una colonna con sopra un angelo.
