Bucksburn
I love the Winter Gardens in Aberdeen. Constantly changing throughout the year. This is the fern house in April 2015. There's lots of information about the different plants and why they are grown too.

Ferryhill

While there might not be top attractions in Ferryhill, you can explore the larger area and discover places like Duthie Park Winter Gardens and Union Square Shopping Centre.

Ferryhill
Playground in Rubislaw playing fields This is one of seven children's playgrounds in the West End of Aberdeen that I visited in the course of an eighty minute dog walk. The others are mainly for younger children. The seven are Rubislaw, Kepplestone, Johnston Gardens, Craigiebuckler, Airyhall, Craigielea and Thorngrove.

Aberdeen West End

Aberdeen West End is popular for its abundant dining options, and if you're looking for more to see and do, you might think about a trip to Queen Victoria Statue or Rubislaw Quarry.
