About Menzieshill
Where to stay in Menzieshill
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Menzieshill splits in two, and which side of it a bed sits on decides the character: the eastern part is private housing, the western part council housing. The split runs east to west. Menzieshill sits immediately north west of Blackness and the West End, which puts a stay here within reach of that side of Dundee, and it lies west of Lochee and east of Gowrie Park.
If you want the west of the city rather than the middle of Dundee, take the eastern part of Menzieshill, which is the private-housing side of the split.
About Menzieshill
What are the main landmarks in Menzieshill?
The listing names nothing here. Menzieshill carries no protected building, no church and no monument in the record, which leaves the district described through its boundaries and its two kinds of housing instead. Neighbouring areas hold the sights.
The names a visitor would look up sit in the areas around it: Lochee, which Menzieshill lies west of, and Charleston, which it lies south of, along with Blackness and the West End.
What is the history of Menzieshill?
No founding year, no charter, and no dated event attach to Menzieshill in the record, and the one historical fact it does carry is structural: the suburb is split into two parts. Private housing fills the eastern part. Council housing fills the western part, and that division is the clearest thing said about how Menzieshill was built, more informative than any date the listing might have supplied.
It also functions as a community council area within Dundee.
Where is Menzieshill?
