Seaton Park is a beautiful public space located in the Old Aberdeen sector of Aberdeen. It is nestled alongside the winding River Don and features several landmarks including Wallace Tower, St Machars Cathedral, Devil's Rock, and Lover's loop.

It's the perfect place for a leisurely stroll or picnic alongside the riverbanks.

Hiking

Lots of paths to follow through the park and around the riverside. There are a few highlights to see here, and some parking available if you have to drive here. Just off King street so a bus to here is easily taken.
