Notes
There was a 'St Clement's Cemetery' (cimiterii Sancti Clementis), presumably close to the church, which is mentioned in 1490 (RMS ii no. 1970). See NMRS for desccription of the building and its location and its destruction in 1547. The location of this kirk is reflected by the place-name in City Square, 'St Clements Lane', shown in 1821 as forming the NE and SE sides of the square on John Wood's 1821 'Plan of Dundee' available at: http://maps.nls.uk/towns/detail.cfm?id=331.
