This Victorian arch was erected by James Guthrie Orchar who was one of Dundee's most prominent businessmen, a successful inventor, engineer and entrepreneur. His company was responsible for designing and equipping numerous jute and flax mills in east Scotland, as well as supplying machinery internationally. Today he is remembered primarily as a patron of the arts. His art collection - which contains over 400 paintings, drawings and prints - survives intact and is regarded as one of the most important Victorian collections of Scottish art in the country.
