Unearth the hidden secrets of the historic Howff cemetery as we lock you in for a one-hour walking tour. Prepare for gruesome executions, clandestine body snatchers, and chilling tales of death, disease, and the downright creepy. Traverse centuries-old graves, mass burials, and encounter some of the infamous figures laid to rest here.
The walk contains some graphic descriptions (we recommend age 12+) and is suitable for most walking abilities, with no stairs and minimal walking between points.
Reviews of Dead Centre:
“All I will say without spoiling it is that it was amazing the things that I as a Dundonian did not know about. This is a tour that I would 100% recommend.”
“Just back from the ‘Dead Centre’ tour and I can’t recommend Dark Dundee tours enough! The tour was informative, exciting and gory- just what we wanted.”
The tour lasts for approximately 1 hr, and will run regardless of the weather. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. See our full terms and conditions for more information.
