The Howff, Dundee

Historic burial ground in the middle of Dundee dating back to the 16th century. The ground was used for meetings by the Dundee Incorporated Trades, and subsequently became known as The Howff, from the Scots word 'howff' meaning a meeting place.

 

The large building looming over it with the obelisk looking tower is the original home and HQ of DC Thomson, famous in Dundee for journalism and publishing. Best known for the Dundee Courier, Beano, Dandy, Sunday Post, Jackie etc. Conservatism with a capital 'C'.
