The Franciscan Nunnery in Dundee was a medieval religious house associated with the Poor Clares, a Franciscan order known for their contemplative and ascetic way of life. While no specific saint or cure is directly linked to the site in surviving records, such nunneries often became local centres of spiritual devotion and may have been connected to healing traditions or local folklore over time.
