DUNDEE, a royal burgh, sea-port town, and '''parish''', in the county of Forfar; containing part of the village of Lochee, 14 miles (S. by W.) from Forfar, and 40½ (N. by E.) from Edinburgh. This place appears to have derived its name, in ancient records ''Dondie'', and in a charter of Queen Mary ''Donum Dei'', from the erection of the church in the twelfth century, by David, Earl of Huntingdon, brother of King William the Lion. The parish of '''St. Mary''' comprised the rural district of the parish of Dundee, and part of the suburbs of the town. The '''Old and South churches''', partly used by the inhabitants of St. Mary's, have since the fire been restored, and contain together about 2450 sittings, of which 1350 are in the latter. The parish of '''St. Paul''', wholly within the town, comprised an extent of about half a mile square. The parish of the '''Grey Friars''' comprised about one-eighth part of the town and suburbs. Connected with the Established Church is a '''Gaelic chapel''', containing 100 sittings. The parish of '''St. John''' was about half a mile in length, and of nearly equal breadth. The church, called the '''Cross church''', containing about 1037 sittings, was destroyed in 1841 by the fire, but has been restored. The parish of '''St. Clement''' was three-quarters of a mile in length, and one-quarter of a mile in breadth. The church, called the '''Steeple church''', was rebuilt in 1782, and contains 1463 sittings. The parish of '''St. David''' was about two miles in length, and three-quarters of a mile in breadth. The parish of '''St. Andrew''' was one mile and three-quarters in length, and three-quarters of a mile in breadth was built in 1774 and contains 1486 sittings. The parish of '''Chapelshade''' comprised nearly two square miles built originally as a Relief chapel in 1789, was united to the Established Church in 1791; it was enlarged in 1830, and contains 1280 sittings. The parish of '''St. Peter''', comprising a portion of the parishes of St. John and St. David, separated by the presbytery in 1836, was about a mile and a half in length, and one-quarter of a mile in breadth, which contains 1120 sittings, was erected in 1836. There are also places of worship in Dundee for members of the '''Free Church''', the '''United Associate Secession''', '''Original Seceders''', '''Baptists''', '''Baptist-Bereans''', and '''Pædobaptist-Bereans''', '''Original Burghers''', '''Episcopalians''', the '''Society of Friends''', '''Glassites''', '''United Christians''', "the '''Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church'''," '''Old Scotch Independents''', the '''New Jerusalem Church''', '''Primitive and United Methodists''', '''Reformed Presbyterians''', the '''Relief Church''', '''Wesleyans''', '''Roman Catholics''', and '''Unitarians'''.<ref>Lewis, Samuel A., ''[http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=43434#s9 A Topographical Dictionary of Scotland]'' (1846), pp. 499-514.

St Mary's Church was founded in 1198. The building was wrecked by the English army in 1547 but was gradually restored. It became the parish church of Dundee in 1560. by 1788 the original building was divided into five churches, all serving the parish of Dundee. In 1822 St. David's Church was added. In 1841 the East, North, and South churches in the central building were destroyed by fire, leaving only St. Clement's known as the Steeple Church. By 1847 two of the churches, St. Mary's and St. Paul's had been restored to their places and an additional building was purchased for the third displaced church, St. John's or the Cross Church. St. Paul's and St. David's were later united. The four remaining churches had a joint Kirk Session. | St Mary's Church was founded in 1198.

St. Andrew's Church was opened in 1774; a Gaelic chapel was opened in Long Wynd in 1791 and also in 1791 the Chapelshade Church was opened. Between 1800 and 1842 nine more churches were started: St. David's, St. Peter's*, Hilltown*, St. Paul's*, Dunhope*, Wallacetown*, Lochee, St. Aidan's Broughty Ferry, and Willison*, making a total of seventeen churches. Those marked with an asterisk all seceded and joined the Free Church at the Disruption in 1843. Seven other churches lost large sections of their membership to the Free Church. <!--{12051799631720} --><!--{12051799631721} --> | St. Andrew's Church was opened in 1774; a Gaelic chapel was opened in Long Wynd in 1791 and also in 1791 the Chapelshade Church was opened.
