=========================================
DUNDEE OLD STEEPLE
Daytime ringing (Mon-Sat) limited to one hour. This includes bank and public holidays. Peals restricted to early evening, finishing by 9.00pm (plus possibly Sunday daytime) and are limited to one per year. Most convenient car parking is in the Overgate car park (No 25 – closes early evening after the shopping centre shuts) or Yeaman’s Shore (no. 28 – free in the evenings). See Dundee City Council parking map. The Old Steeple is located at the City Churches ('PWs') close to, and north-west of the Nethergate/Union Street junction in the lower centre of this map. The entrance to the tower is as for the Steeple Church, through the large doors opposite Debenhams at the west end of the City Churches.
St Paul's is marked 'Cath' between Castle Street and Commercial Street (centre east on the map).
There are working chimes in the tower and these must be turned off before ringing. There are clear notices displayed in the ringing room. The light should be *green* for ringing (chimes disabled) and turned back to red when the bells are down and stationary.
Peal fees at present are £10/rope, with a donation from other visiting ringers left to the organiser's discretion.
Full instructions are here in 'Instructions to Ringers Visiting the Old Steeple' and please read these before visiting the tower.
The tower is open to City Council employees and others so the bells MUST be left down whenever the ringing room is unattended.
