More about Dundee
Traces of there having been a Roman settlement have
been found both on Dundee Law (which offers a
magnificent panorama) and in the surrounding areas. It
was from Dundee in AD 834 that Kenneth MacAlpine set off
to conquer the Picts, a success which made him King of
the Scots.
The Abbey of Lindores was established by the Earl of
Huntington, who had lands around here and it was in the
12th century that his brother, William the Lion, granted
Dundee its royal charter.
The Earl also founded the Church of Saint Mary, on the
site of which now stands the parish church with it's
great bell tower - known as the Old Steeple - which is a
focal point of Dundee. The original church was no sooner
completed when it was burned again by the English army
in 1385 (Edward I having already burned the town and
church in 1296). However, the people responded to this
by rebuilding an even bigger and more elaborate church.
Yet again the church was destroyed, this time by an
invading English fleet that sailed up the river Tay 1547
to beseige the city but as before, the church of Saint
Mary's rose again in splendour. It was burned once again
and all that remains today is the Bell Tower, although
there is now another church on the original site with
serves the city today.
Dundee supported the 1715 Jacobite Rising with the Old
Pretender (James VIII - who visited Dundee in 1716)
being proclaimed at the Mercat Cross.
Although the Act of Union (1707) had all but destroyed
Dundee's traditional woollen trading it began to bring
new prosperity in the form of both flax and linen.
Gradually it became clear that to support the Jacobite
cause was in conflict with this new and considerable
prosperity. When news reached Dundee of the Duke of
Cumberland's victory over the Jacobite's at Culloden
(1745) it was ordered that the town publicly rejoice.
The Duke also had conferred upon him the Freedom of the
Burgh in recognition of his victory. Dundee then enjoyed
a long period of growing prosperity.
In the early decades of the 19th century the East India
Company sent to Dundee samples of a new fibre, namely
jute. The whaling industry in nearby Broughty Ferry
supplied ample oil which when added to the jute fibres
made it more flexible and easier to weave. This,
together with the fact that Dundee had an ample work
force of women trained and experienced in the spinning
and weaving of linen gave Dundee all the ingredients to
become a boom town, which in did.
The prosperity of Dundee had the affect of attracting
those outwith the city who left agriculture to enter the
jute mills. The 1820's record a population for Dundee of
35,000 but by the 1870's it had soared to over 130,000,
with hurried shops, factories, mills and housing
appearing all over the city to accommodate and serve its
booming numbers.
Dundee's 'jute' prosperity was to last for over 100
years, until India came to develop her own capacity to
manufacture and process the raw material.
