Westburn Park

Posted on by Felines and Fiction

Autumn paints Westburn Park in handsome hues of gold and orange, a portrait of peace. The estate was purchased by the local council in 1900 and opened to the public as a park in 1901.

Gilcomston Burn flows through the park, laid out like a mini canal with a series of small Amsterdam style bridges.

The mini road feature adds unusual character and is excellent for learning to ride a bike in a safe space.

A coffee kiosk allows you to enjoy a refreshment in the park.
