Sketch map of Hospital properties in Dundee by Mr Reid Mr. McIntosh West Port Dundee 054 [Situation] At the north end of Temple Lane This is the site of a port or gate which was the entrance on the NW [North West] side of the town after it was fortified by a wall & deep ditch in 1547. The Street here is now in progress of draining and the foundation of the wall has been dug up. and the ditch which was on the outside is easily traced but independent of this evidence tradition points out the spot as the site of the port. The street at this place is named after this port or gate, West Port, as it would appear that the port was anciently called Argyle's Port and in after times West Port. "Dundee was formerly fortified with walls begun by the English and completed in 1547 by the French. The existence and even the position of its gates are Commemorated in the names of its streets, Nethergate, Overgate Seagate, and Murraygate, The first formerly called Fluckergate and the second Argylegate." Fullarton's Gazetteer.

This building consists of the central part of a cabinet makers premises consisting of ware rooms and work shops, Occupied by Mr. D. Anderson. This part of the building of the hospital does not appear to be very ancient and is of plain architecture 3 storeys high. - Before the Reformation the hospital was an Institution belonging to the brethren of the Holy Trinity or Red Friars, the building of which appears to have been preserved notwithstanding the demolition of religious houses &c. at the eve of the Reformation and was long after used as an hospital for the use of the town. From entries in the accounts of the hospital lately printed for evidence in case of a lawsuit between the presbytery, and the magistrates of Dundee and made out by Mr. Cosmo Innes it appears the hospital was burned in 1645 and was soon afterwards rebuilt. It also appears to have undergone many alterations from time to time. It was fitted up in 1754 as a workhouse and in 1757 was made a prison for French prisoners. From [continued on page 56]

OS1/14/34/57 Remains of Hospital and Site of Red Friars' Convent (Continued) [continued from page 56] "A Convent of Mathurine, Robertine, Red, or Trinity Friars founded in the year 1392 by Sir James Lindsay, Knt. [Knight] a cadet of the ancestral house of the noble family of Crawford stood upon or near to the site of the town's Hospital at the foot of South Tay Street where the Catholic Chapel stands if indeed the hospital was not in reality the monastery itself. From some old papers which were obligingly communicated to us many years ago we are inclined to consider this establishment as having been at its erection a dependent of the ministry of the holy Trinity and Captivity at Berwick-upon-Tweed, the minister or superior of which was General of the whole order within Scotland, — at least the minister at Berwick in 1296 was General for in that year he swore fealty as General of the order to Edward I. of England as Lord Paramont of Scotland for the possessions of his own Convent in particular and generally for those of the whole brethren in the Kingdom. It is probable that like as in other Orders, the office and dignity of General was not unalterably annexed to one convent however this is certain that whatsoever individual held the office of General all the houses of the order wheresoever they were situated within his province were dependent on and subject to his authority during the time of his Generalship. The first donation to this house was a tenement within the town which was granted by the founder in the foundation Charter but the position is not specified. Robert III. who is the only other bene­factor whose name has escaped the ravages of time by his charter under the great seal dated ___ confirming the foundation, dissolved the parish church of Kettins from the Mathurine Convent at Berwick-upon-Tweed and annexed it to this house." + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + "Of the money revenues of the convent nothing is known unless the various annuals in the town's ancient Rent Roll marked as payable to the hospital be considered as having previous to the Reformation belonged to the Friars. These annuals amount to £91.8.5 and shew in connection with other sources of revenue that whatever was the number of the brethren, their total income was considerable but perhaps not more than what would be necessary for the purposes of the institution of the order, for at least one fourth part of the revenues of every house of the order over all [continued on page 58]

Other property in land and ground annuals had been acquired by the Hospital before the Queen's grant.
