Dudhope Park and Castle

Highlight • Settlement

Dudhope park is a park within Dundee city. The castle was a military barracks from 1795 until 1881. Today it's used by Dundee Council as an administrative building, it's not open to the public. The surrounding parkland used to be the castle gardens and is now open to the public.

Mills Observatory

Highlight • Viewpoint

Britain’s first purpose-built public observatory enjoys a magnificent woodland setting on the summit of Balgay Hill. Watch stars and planets through our telescopes, or admire the scenery with some spectacular treetop vistas across the silvery Tay (source: leisureandculturedundee.com/culture/mills). Very close to the Observatory is the Planet Trail - a series of standing stones and plaques representing the solar system (source: leisureandculturedundee.com/faq/what-can-i-expect-find-mills-observatory)
