Step back in time: Duthie Park Winter Gardens

The David Welch Winter Gardens in Duthie Park is one of the best-loved spots for the people of the Granite City.

For generations, the glasshouses and hothouses have offered an exotic escape in the heart of Aberdeen – especially during the grey and dark winter months. And kids of all ages love McPuddock the pond-dwelling frog and Spike the talking cactus, as well as the rich and vibrant array of plants.
