What is recorded here
Dudhope Castle is an extended late medieval tower house on the southern face of Dundee Law in Dundee, Scotland. Built in the late 13th century by the Scrymgeour family and later expanded for James Scrimgeour and Magdalen Livingstone, it became a military barracks for 400 soldiers from 1796 to 1879 before its grounds opened as a public park in 1895.
Dudhope Castle is shown as a castle on the public map of Dundee City. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Dudhope Castle was built in the 14th century by the Keith family, a prominent Scottish noble family. It is remembered as a historic stronghold associated with the region's medieval military and political history.
