St Fittick’s
Park: Aberdeen
"What links an ancient church, an ancient well
and award-winning wetlands? The answer of course is St Fittick’s Park. Nestling
between Balnagask, the new harbour at Nigg Bay and Balnagask golf course, St
Fittick’s Park is an ancient green space in Torry. Before the last Ice Age the
River Dee would have flowed into the sea through here. Occasionally, Mesolithic
flint tools are found by archaeologists and show the first signs of human
presence here (about 7000 years ago)."
