The central figure on the monument is Stella Carrington, a former weaver who worked in a jute mill from a young age. Stella campaigned for workers in the jute industry to be recognised for their contribution to Dundee. The girl (based on the granddaughter of a jute worker) represents the children who were known as ‘half-times’ because they had to split their time between school and the dangerous conditions of the mills. The text inscribed on the curved corten steel panels quotes a song by Mary Brooksbank and a poem by Ron Hutcheson. ‘Oh, the mill is running like mad, these little workmen can’t rest, moving the bobbins, fast and true, they can do it, ten and nine’. The song inscribed on the curved steel panels representing woven jute emerging from the loom was sung by the women as they moved back and forth beside their machines https://artuk.org/discover/artworks/jute-women-247822

The Jute Women Tribute, also known as the Dundee Weaver. Dundee was known as Jutepolis because it was the largest jute processing centre in the world. The town had a textile industry before, but from the 1830s jute processing took over from local manufacturing. The town grew rapidly and soon around 50,000 people were employed in the textile industry. The sculpture was funded by Asda through its Percent for Art programme when a supermarket was built on Myrekirk Road. “A memorial to the hard-working women and children of Dundee’s bygone Jute industry, on which the town’s fortunes were founded. https://publicartdundee.org/listing/jute-women-tribute-aka-the-dundee-weaver/

A great viewpoint over the City with views across to Fife and beyond. There are several paths to challenge yourself to walk to the top, otherwise space for a few cars to park at the top.

Also worth it because of the view over the city.

A choice of paths, tracks, and roads to choose from on your route through the park. The plentiful supply of car parking also makes the Park a useful start/finish point.

The Planet Trail is a lovely short walk starting at the observatory on Bargay Hill. It leads to boulders that contain interesting informations about the planets of our solar system. Some of them are a little decayed, though.

The Camperdown Wildlife Centre Cafe is located in the centre of the Camperdown Country Park and is the perfect spot for hungry walkers. Treat yourself to a cake, cold ot hot drink, or the delicious home-made snacks.

This extinct volcano stands tall above Dundee City. The summit at 174m offers amazing views of the city and north into the highlands. Previously an iron age hill fort and Roman pottery has also been found here. Today there is a war memorial and mobile phone tower on top and several art installations along the paths and trails on its flanks. It can get busy here during the day in nice weather but it's always worth the ride, either as a destination itself or as part of a longer loop of the city.
