Starting at the Howff cemetery, uncover the brutal crimes and sinister murders that terrorized Dundee’s citizens. We think of Victorians as uptight and moral, but in reality, they could be as vicious as any criminal.
Gritty, chilling, unforgettable—this is history at its most deadly from Dundee’s gruesome twosome storytellers, Louise & Stewart.
After visiting the Howff, we’ll take you to the Old Steeple, down one of Dundee’s oldest streets, and end at ‘The Vaults’ on Exchange St. However you won’t be getting to explore each of these locations, they are the scenes for some of the most chilling crimes from Dundee in the 1800s.

My first time trying this sort of thing with few work colleagues and my daughter.
It was a fun time. The way Louise and Stewart tell the stories draws you in and they tell them in a great way. My next tour will be the vaults for sure.
