Places of Significance: Duthie Park, Aberdeen

Whether with a picnic in hand, or to listen to music from the bandstand, or to participate in an egg-rolling contest at Easter, Duthie Park was a favorite spot for Ella and her family to visit. 



The park’s 44 acres, situated near the banks of the River Dee, boast fountains, statues, ponds, children’s play areas, and an indoor Winter Garden. When returning to visit in October 2014, we sure enjoyed leisurely walking, listening to Ella reminisce, and sampling ice cream from the park’s cafe. Next time we visit, let's pack a lunch and a toy boat!
