Vicious Victorians

Dare to walk Dundee’s dark past with the “Vicious Victorians” tour. Starting at the Howff cemetery, uncover the brutal crimes and sinister murders that terrorized Dundee’s citizens. We think of Victorians as uptight and moral, but in reality, they could be as vicious as any criminal.

Dundee’s oldest surviving building; standing since the 1490s, visit each floor of The Old Steeple (St Mary’s Tower) to see what curiosities lie within her walls. We’ll stop at each floor including the bell room and clock room, ending on the parapet at the very top.
