Old Gateway to the Howff, Barrack Street
Entrance to an old graveyard, named the Howff, occupying the former garden of a 13th-century Franciscan monastery. In 1564, following the Reformation, it was granted to the town as a burial ground by Queen Mary, and used as a regular meeting place (= old Scots 'howff') for the town's nine incorporated trades* until 1776. Burials ceased in 1857. Dundee's coat of arms appear above the gateway. Note the sculpted caskets above the pillars.

Ward Mill/Friarfield House, Dundee
The L-shaped building in the centre with a flagpole and blue balustraded corner tower is the office block of Ward Mill. This block was built in 1873 for Don Brothers, Buist & Co. From the other side (not seen) it has a high level of renaissance architectural treatment. I really ought to have made time to go round the other side.

Howff Cemetery, Dundee
The Howff Cemetery was formerly the grounds of a Franciscan monastery founded by Devorguilla (mother of John Balliol, king of Scotland 1292-96) in the late thirteen century. Unfortunately, this religious foundation was destroyed during the period known as "the Rough Wooing" (1543-47). However, in 1564, whilst staying at Pitkerro House, Mary, Queen of Scots, granted permission for the townspeople to use this area as a burial ground. Interestingly, the Howff was also used as a meeting place for the merchants of the Nine Incorporated Trades up until 1776 - the Nine Incorporated Trades were bakers, hammermen, weavers, shoemakers, tailors, glovers, fleshers, bonnetmakers and dyers).

When I was last here I never took a lot of notice of the detail beside the coat of arms which is one of the best I have seen on a post office building. Image
