Claverhouse is an area of Dundee, Scotland. John Graham of Claverhouse (1648–1689), known to history as "Bonnie Dundee" or "Bluidy Clavers" by his supporters and detractors respectively, was the laird of Claverhouse, although he was born at Glen Ogilvie, near Glamis.^[1]

Claverhouse also has a few housing and residential estates including Claverhouse Braes and Dalclaverhouse which were constructed in the late 1990s.
