An artistic amphitheatre overlooked by ancient architecture, Aberdeen’s Union Terrace Gardens offer city centre symmetry and serenity. It is like entering a future world with one eye on a prestigious past. Recently reopened after a major redevelopment, the gardens provide a gentle respite from the city centre crush above, with a grand entrance staircase, tranquil seating areas, children’s play areas and a large civic space appropriate for events and gatherings. The design is a marriage of the modern and the traditional; the space is both a city centre haven and an architect’s dream.
Artwork offers solace for the soul.
A mirror unicorn dazzles your eyes. (The unicorn is Scotland’s national animal.)
The city crest shines in glorious green.
A statue of William Wallace looks protectively over the park.
