Kittybrewster, Aberdeen
Sightseeing
The park lies to the north of the city on the banks of the River Don and is surrounded by historical architecture and agriculture.
Near the park’s south gates are the fortified towers of St Machar’s Cathedral which forms the backdrop to the ‘Cathedral walk’, a formal arrangement of spring and summer flower beds, rose beds and herbaceous borders creating a magnificent sight in midsummer.
There are several important listed features within the park such as the Wallace Tower, the motte and a mound which dates back to the Bronze Age. The park is also close to the Brig o’ Balgownie, a thirteenth century gothic bridge that has survived centuries of heavy use and military attacks. Beyond the bridge is the Cottown of Balgownie, a series of red tiled cottages and small tiny gardens built in the early sixteen hundreds.
Seaton Park is also home to Mr Therm, a former steam engine which was used to transport coal from Aberdeen harbour. Mr Therm is now a play sculpture and has been hugely popular with thousands of children over the years.
A great place for Sunday strolls, photographs, children/families and jogging
