点评:I'd been looking forward to visiting the Howff for many many years as several of my ancestors are buried there and were quite important figures in Dundee's history. (11th great grandfather James Petrie, 8th great grandfather Andrew Wardroper and others including Lieut General Sir William Chalmers who fought at Waterloo.)
I was rather disappointed and disgusted by what I found there. One dog walker was allowing his pet to s**t on the graves. There were wild rabbits everywhere and they had dug into graves all over the sight. This was especially bad at the far end where the undermining is so bad they have fenced the area off. This is where my ancestors are buried; in a much neglected area. Whoever is in charge of the Howff they should be ashamed for letting an important part of Scottish history fall into such rack and ruin.

我对那里的发现感到相当失望和厌恶。一名遛狗者允许他的宠物在坟墓上拉屎。到处都是野兔,到处都是它们挖的坟墓。这在远端尤其糟糕,那里的破坏非常严重,他们已经将该地区围了起来。这是我的祖先埋葬的地方;在一个被严重忽视的地区。无论谁负责豪夫河,他们都应该为让苏格兰历史的重要部分陷入如此的折磨和毁灭而感到羞耻。
