Claverhouse, Dundee — Area Guide & Where to Stay

What are the main landmarks in Claverhouse?

Caird Park holds two of the names on this list: the Caird Park Velodrome, a cycling track rather than a building, and Mains (St Ninian's) Church, which the record places inside the park itself. Mains Castle stands apart from those. Old Glamis Road carries Mains Parish Church, and Derwent Avenue carries St Columba's Roman Catholic Church.

Balmuir House and Balmuirfield House complete it, a pair the listing keeps separate despite the shared root of the name, both on the northern edge of Dundee.

What is the history of Claverhouse?

The name Mains runs through the older part of the record here, attached to Mains Castle, to Mains Parish Church on Old Glamis Road, and to Mains (St Ninian's) Church inside Caird Park. Balmuir is the second such root. Balmuir House and Balmuirfield House carry it, and the two of them sit in the record alongside the castle rather than under it.

St Columba's Roman Catholic Church on Derwent Avenue and the Caird Park Velodrome are the names the record attaches to the residential Claverhouse rather than to the castle ground.

Where is Claverhouse?
