Fowlis Castle


Nearby Fowlis Castle was built in the early 17th century, being the first major home of the Gray family. By the mid 19th century the castle had fallen into disrepair ultimately became a dwelling for labourers, mostly very poor. For most of the last century it was used as a farm building. Lately additions have been put on the castle to refurbish the stone structure for upscale apartments. With Fowlis Easter being on the outskirts of the growing city of Dundee, the whole village of Easter Fowlis is being redeveloped for upmarket townhouses.

Some of the information provided here was obtained by the Statistical Accounts of Scotland published in the years 1791 and 1845. I've included other accounts taken of parishes in the area where records have been recorded for other Dand ancestors in the area around Dundee and beyond.
