camperdown country park

Camperdown Country Park is the largest public park in Dundee and owes its name and fame to the victory of Admiral Adam Duncan over the Dutch fleet in 1797 at the Battle of Camperdown, off the Dutch coast. The park which is home to no fewer than 190 species of trees, was opened to the public in 1949.

The park serves as a backdrop for a variety of special events taking place throughout the year:

camperdown house

This neo-classical house was built in 1828 and was designed by the architect William Burn. It was named after the Battle of Camperdown, where Admiral Adam Duncan triumphed over the Dutch fleet in 1797. The Duncan family used the pensions granted by a grateful British government, to build this magnificent house.
