Where to stay in Ardler
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
A stay in Ardler is a stay in the north-west of Dundee, on streets, Turnberry Avenue, Haldane Street, Baldovan Road, laid out as a single housing scheme. The golf course came before it. Downfield Golf Club owned this ground, and the four churches, Chalmers-Ardler Church, Downfield South Church, St Luke's Episcopal Church and Strathmartine Parish Church and Churchyard, are what a guest here walks between.
If you are in Dundee for something on the Strathmartine Road side rather than the centre, Ardler puts you nearer it.

About Ardler
What are the main landmarks in Ardler?
The landmarks here are all churches. Chalmers-Ardler Church stands on Turnberry Avenue, Downfield South Church on Haldane Street, and St Luke's Episcopal Church at 4 Baldovan Road, which puts three of the four within the streets of the scheme. The fourth carries a churchyard.

What is the history of Ardler?
Downfield Golf Club held this land first, and the housing scheme that replaced it was completed in the late 1960s with six 17-storey blocks forming its northern part. The towers did not last. They came down between 1995 and 2007 under a regeneration programme, and their removal is the single largest change the record attaches to Ardler since the scheme was built.
Strathmartine Parish Church and Churchyard on Strathmartine Road keeps the older name in use.
Where is Ardler?
