Where to stay in Douglas and Angus
How the choice of base plays out on the ground.
Claypotts Castle marks the choice. Rooms in Douglas and Angus itself are scarce, so a visitor generally books in Dundee proper and treats the area as somewhere to visit rather than to sleep, with Broughty Ferry the nearer alternative to the east. Whitfield sits on the northern side.
If you are here for Claypotts Castle or for the addresses on Grove Road in West Ferry, the eastern edge of the area puts both within easy reach.

About Douglas and Angus
What are the main landmarks in Douglas and Angus?
One castle anchors the list. Claypotts Castle is the single landmark in Douglas and Angus that a visitor would cross the city for, and everything else on the record is a house or a church rather than a monument. The St Pius church stands on Balerno Street.
Red Court sits at 17 Fairfield Road, Magdala at 32 Dundee Road, and two further addresses on the record stand at 92 and 94 Grove Road in West Ferry.
What is the history of Douglas and Angus?
Douglas and Angus leaves only a handful of entries. Claypotts Castle is the oldest name the area carries, and no founding year is recorded for Douglas and Angus itself, which takes its history from Dundee and the wider Scotland rather than from a charter of its own. Named houses came afterwards.
Red Court on Fairfield Road, Magdala on Dundee Road and the pair on Grove Road in West Ferry are the addresses the record keeps, and the St Pius church on Balerno Street is the one institution set down beside them.
Where is Douglas and Angus?
Whitfield lies to the north of Douglas and Angus and Broughty Ferry to the east, with West Ferry and its Grove Road addresses on the same side.
