Dudhope Castle, Medieval tower house in Dundee, Scotland

The castle stands on a steep slope beneath Dundee Law, featuring an L-shaped structure with thick stone walls and multiple stories built around 1460.

The Scrymgeour family constructed the original castle in the late 13th century after William Wallace appointed them as Hereditary Constables of Dundee.

From military barracks to educational facility, the castle transformed through centuries to become part of Dundee Business School at University of Abertay.

The castle grounds include tennis courts, a skateboarding park, and sports areas accessible through Dudhope Park's main entrance paths.

In 1958, the Ministry of Works attempted to demolish the structure, but local preservation efforts saved this historic building for future generations.
