Snow at Hazlehead Park in Aberdeen

Snowy Hazlehead Park in Aberdeen, Scotland

I ran around in the first snow of winter at Hazlehead Park yesterday.

History of Hazlehead Park

The park is one of the oldest historic sites in Aberdeen, once part of the great hunting forests of Stocket, and was gifted to the city by Robert the Bruce in 1314.

I only had a short time there, due to a dental appointment, but I made the most of it!

There were lovely big trees with the odd autumn leaf still attached.

Trees, trees, trees.

I so love walking in my wilder countryside woods that I forget how lovely the wooded areas of the city are. I must visit Hazlehead Park again soon; there’s a lot more to see.

A sunny one to finish…
