West Ferry 'mansion'
Victorian mansions such as this one are typical of much of West Ferry. They were built during the hey day of the jute industry in Dundee which brought considerable prosperity to the city. History records that in 1900 there were more millionaires living in West Ferry than in any other square mile of the British Empire. Today many of the large houses have been flatted and modern infill building has slightly increased population densities.

The tower house of Claypotts Castle
Situated in a desirable housing development to the south of the city centre at Dundee, Claypotts is an outstanding example of 16th. century architecture. The land was leased from Tironesian monks at Lindores Abbey by the Strachan family who built the castle between 1569 and 1568. The castle soon passed to the Grahams of Ballunie before the Grahams of Claverhouse took possession. Following the Battle of Killicrankie in 1689 and the death of Viscount Dundee, James Graham of Claverhouse, 'Bonnie Dundee', the castle passed to the state who then gifted it to the Douglas family. Claypotts later passed, by marriage, to the 13th. Earl of Home whose descendants gifted the castle to the state in 1926. The house is now cared for by Historic Scotland and, at present, can only be viewed from the exterior but what a wonderful picture it provides.

Claypotts Park
Many years ago the park was allowed to flood in winter and freeze over and utilised as a skating rink. It is believed that a drain is extant to allow the flooded area to return to grass.

Claypotts Castle
Claypotts Castle was built between 1569 and 1588. In 1601, ownership passed to Sir William Graham of Balunie, and in 1620 the castle was purchased by Sir William Graham of Claverhouse, great-grandfather of John Graham of Claverhouse. Following Claverhouse's defeat and death at the battle of Killiekrankie in 1689, Claypotts Castle was forfeited and granted to the Marquis of Douglas in 1694. The castle is now under the care of Historic Scotland, but unfortunately is not a staffed property.
