DUNDEE, town and parish on south border of Forfarshire. The town stands on Firth of Tay, 9J miles west of Buddonness, and 21J east-north-east of Perth ; dates from ancient times, but never till quite a modern period became large, and now, as to both population and aggregate importance, is the third town in Scotland. It figures historically in connection with Prince David of Huntingdon, Edward I. of England, Sir William Wallace, the Duke of Lancaster in 1385, the Re-former Wishart, the Marquis of Montrose, General Monck, and Graham of Claverhouse; it was visited by James V., Queen Mary, James VI., Charles II., and Queen Victoria ; and it gave the titles of viscount and earl for some time to the family of Scrymseour, and that of viscount after-wards to Graham of Claverhouse. Its site is partly low ground adjacent to the shore, and partly slopes and undulations ascending toward the overhanging hills of Dundee Law and Balgay. The entire town, till after the commencement of the present century, stood on the low ground, and was dense, irregular, and unpleasant ; but the town now extends far beyond its old limits ; shows a larger proportion of architectural improvement than any other considerable Scottish town ; includes many spacious, regular, well-built quarters ; and, as seen from the firth or from the opposite shore, looks very beautiful. Its old High Street, of form and size to seem almost like a square, has been so renovated and constructed as to look brightly modern. Reform Street, striking thence to the north, and some other modern streets, are as handsome as portions of the New Town of Edinburgh. Some of the outskirts are dingy ; but those in the west, and parts of those in the north, are studded with villas and large ornate buildings. The eastern public park, about a mile north-east of High Street, comprises about 38 acres in form of landscape garden, and was provided by the Baxters at a cost of 50,000. Dundee Law, immediately north of the town, is a verdant domical hill, 572 feet high, and commands a gorgeous view. Balgay, a lower hill a little to the west, commands much of the same view, and contains the western public park, of nearly 86 acres, formed in 1871. The town is a royal and parliamentary burgh, sending two members to Parliament, a seat of justiciary courts, a place of various and extensive manufacture, and a great seaport ; has a head post office with all departments, 9 local post offices with each a money order department, railway communication in all directions, 9 banking offices, and 9 principal hotels ; publishes 6 daily newspapers, and 2 twice a week ; is the metropolis of the Scottish linen trade, with factories worth nearly 3,000,000 ; carries on extensive ship-building in all forms and with much repute ; conducts also much iron-working, rope-making, carpet manufacture, machine-making, sugar-re fining, glove-making, and other industries ; and in 1879 made ex-ports of 359,080 tons in 1251 British vessels, and 43,362 tons in 197 foreign vessels, and had imports of 403,343 tons in 1313 British vessels, and 53,960 tons in 225 foreign vessels. Its harbour has undergone progressive, rapid, costly improvement ; comprises great wet docks, spacious quays, patent slip, graving docks, and other appliances of a first-class port ; was estimated, for the year 1878-79, to have a revenue of 50,148, and an expenditure of 45,526 ; and had then a value of 812,842, burdened with a debt of 352,148. The Tay bridge or railway viaduct, on the firth from west end of the town to the Fife coast, opened in June 1878, destroyed in December 1879, and intended to be rebuilt, had much influence on the local trade, and made a great figure in the landscape, but will be separately noticed. Many of the public buildings possess much interest. The Town Hall in High Street was built in 1734, and improved in 1854, and is in the Roman Ionic style, with tower and spire. The Royal Exchange, at end of Panmure Street, was built in 1853-56, and is in the Flemish style. The Corn Exchange, in Bank Street, was built in 1856-58, and is in the Italian style.

A public school in the east end of town, the sixth erected by the burgh board, was built in 1878 at a cost of 5700, and has accommodation for 750 scholars. The churches in the town and suburbs are 14 Established, 18 Free, 11 United Presbyterian, 1 United Original Secession, 6 Congregational, 3 Evangelical Union, 4 Baptist, 2 Wesleyan, 5 Episcopalian, 1 Catholic Apostolic, and 4 Roman Catholic. Three of the Established churches, near the centre of the town, one of them ancient, the other two rebuilt in 1842-47 at a cost of 11,135, form one cruciform Gothic edifice surmounted by a famous ancient tower; and that tower is believed to have been built by Prince David of Huntingdon, and was renovated in 1873 at a cost of about 8000. A number of the other churches, Established, Free, United Presbyterian, and Congregational, are ornamental structures; and several of them were erected in years from 1877 till 1882. St. Paul's Episcopalian church, on Castle Hill, was erected in 1855 at a cost of 13,000, and is a middle-pointed cruciform edifice with steeple 217 feet high. _ The Catholic Apostolic church, in Constitution Road, was built in 1868, and is finely ornate.

The chief estates are Craigie, Claypots, Duntrune, Drumgeith, Baldovie, Pitkerro, Dudhope, Clepington, and Blackness ; and the principal antiquities are an old archway, 2 or 3 notable old houses, and the sites of a royal palace, a noble mansion, and a number of ancient churches and religious houses in the town. 98 schools for 17,719 scholars were in the burgli, and the board resolved to abolish 11 of them for 1539, and to provide 7 new schools and an enlargement for 4000.
