A great bit of green space in the centre of the Granite City.

Great walks along the old railway line from Aberdeen to Ballater with great views of the river. While many cyclists share the path responsibly, many don't especially during the rush hours where the old railway line is a useful traffic free route and some seem to want to shave a couple of seconds off their PB during their commute.
