Dudhope Park and Castle
![[Image: Dudhope Park and Castle]](/dundeecity/uploaded_images/image_614_tn.jpg "[Image: Dudhope Park and Castle]")
Prior to its present use, Dudhope Park and Castle had been used as a military base.
In 1795 a lease was taken by the Ordnance Office for the Castle and the Park of Dudhope for a period of 95 years. The Castle was used as a barracks from 1796 to 1879. It ceased being used by the army in 1881.
The landscaping is largely limited to the steep slopes of the park, allowing the grass areas to be used for active and passive recreation.
