City and seaport, Forfarshire, on Firth of Tay. It was erected into a royal burgh by William the Lion, c.1200, shared prominently in the War of Scottish Independence, and was captured by the English under John of Gaunt, 1385 . From its activity in propagating the doctrines of the Reformation it was called the Scottish Geneva. During the Civil War it was sacked several times, by Montrose, 1645 , and by General Monk, 1651 . In 1889 it became a city and now sends two members to Parliament. Among its many churches, five of which are Catholic , the most interesting is “Town Churches,” consisting of Saint Mary’s, Saint Paul’s, and Saint Clement’s, the three under one roof, surmounted by a square tower called the “Old Steeple,” once the belfry of a church erected in the 12th century . This belfry was restored by Sir Gilbert Scott, 1873 . Saint Andrew’s Catholic Cathedral , of the Diocese of Dunkeld, is a modern building, in early English style. <\/p>\n
