    Britain’s first purpose-built public observatory enjoys a magnificent woodland setting on the summit of Balgay Hill. Watch stars and planets through our telescopes, or admire the scenery with some spectacular treetop vistas across the silvery Tay (source: leisureandculturedundee.com/culture/mills). Very close to the Observatory is the Planet Trail - a series of standing stones and plaques representing the solar system (source: leisureandculturedundee.com/faq/what-can-i-expect-find-mills-observatory)
