Statement of Interest

A Group with 66, 67 High Street, 68, 69 High Street, and 70 - 73 High Street and Gardyne's Land.

This tenement forms part of the important early group which includes the 16th century Gardyne's Land, the oldest known domestic building to survive within the Dundee Burgh. During the early years of the 21st century Nos 68, 69, 70-73 and Gardyne's Land, and 75,76 have been restored and are now (2007) accessed from the Gardyne's Land block. Formerly listed with clock and model of the old town house. This clock was moved to the adjacent 70-73 High Street in 2006 and is now included in the listing for that building.
