CAMPERDOWN PARK
This fabulous park deserves several caches, so the few I’ve added here are a start to accompany allieballie’s “Twists and Turns”. There’s room for plenty more if anyone’s interested?
This 640 acre park was gifted to Admiral Adam Duncan following his victory at the Battle of Camperdown in 1797. The mansion house, which took four years to build, was built by his son Robert Dundas. It became the seat of the Duncan family until 1937. The house and estate were bought by Dundee Corporation in 1946. The house is currently undergoing renovation funded by a lottery grant.
The park includes a Wildlife Centre, children’s adventure play park, tennis courts, pitch and putt, golf course, ponds, woodland walks and large open spaces. The massively popular Dundee Flower and Food Festival is one of the many events held annually at Camperdown Park.
