Dundee Synagogue is located on St. Mary Place in Dundee, Scotland. Designed by Ian Imlach, it was opened in 1978[2] to replace the former synagogue building at 15 Meadow Street[1] that was demolished in 1973.[3]
The community had previously met at 132 Murraygate Street and (from 1895 to 1920) at 62 Murraygate Street.[1]
Jews were recorded as living in Dundee in the 1840s.[4] The Tayside and Fife Jewish Community was established in 1878 under its former name of the Dundee Hebrew Congregation.
