We will cover more than 400 years of turbulent Scottish history as we walk.This tour covers a very difficult period, for the city and people of Dundee.

As we walk the streets, you will hear stories of devastating invading armies as well as witchcraft persecution and executions - remembered by many Dundonians to this day.Crime, often driven by abject poverty and alcohol use, blighted many lives.

Theft could send someone to Australia for several years.

Debt could land them in the newly - built prison at Bell Street and ill health often placed them in the New Howff Cemetery opened next door.At Dundee Prison men were publicly executed in the 1800`s, watched by thousands.

It was also there that the courageous Dundee Suffragettes faced prison and went on hunger strike in the 20th Century.

We make sure to pay tribute to their efforts as we relate their story.We cover a little- known disaster which took many lives in the city centre and finish in the ancient Howff Graveyard.

Here, we consider Dundee`s connection to the Slave Trade and those terrible witchcraft trials.
