Claverhouse
Claverhouse is a residential area located on the northern outskirts of Dundee, Scotland with the city centre located 2 miles (3.2 km) from the area.
Claverhouse is primarily an affluent residential area and is one of the wealthier areas in Dundee alongside Broughty Ferry and the West End of Dundee. The area is surrounded by natural parkland, reservoirs and a burn and is a popular area for golf and equestrianism. High end housing communities which feature houses and villas are located within the area.
The Dighty Burn runs past Claverhouse from the west underneath a bridge and continues to flow to the east. Located near to Claverhouse is Mains Castle and Caird Park as well as the A90 road northbound to Aberdeen through Forfar Road.
Up north from the area is the nearby Barns of Claverhouse, where local farmhouses and animals are located. It is accessible from Barns of Claverhouse Road and through the pathway into and past the Emmock Woods housing community.
John Graham of Claverhouse (1648–1689), known to history as "Bonnie Dundee" or "Bluidy Clavers" by his supporters and detractors respectively, was the laird of Claverhouse. The Graham family, including John Graham, owned the area of Claverhouse in the 1600s. References to John Graham and his viscountcy were used for street names as part of the Claverhouse Braes community.
The Claverhouse Bleachworks factory opened in the late 1770s and closed in the 1970s. Claverhouse Bleachfield had a chimney and a counting house which housed a bell and a clock tower. The bell has been removed although the clock tower and the chimney of the bleachwork factory still stand in Claverhouse.
The nearby Trottick Ponds were used for the Claverhouse Bleachworks factory as a power source.
By the late 20th century, the Claverhouse Industrial Park was built, situated on Forfar Road to the east of the residential area, is one of Dundee’s main business and employment centres. The site was developed in the late 20th century as part of wider efforts to diversify the city’s economy following the decline of traditional industries such as jute and heavy manufacturing. Built on former farmland and open ground, the park was intended to attract light industry, warehousing and service-sector employers to the north of the city. Today it contains a mixture of industrial units, storage facilities and offices. The industrial park continues to provide commercial space that supports employment and economic activity in Dundee.
