NJ 93889 04227 An evaluation was carried out at Duthie Park, Aberdeen from 14–16 June 2010. The remains of a pond and a set of six concrete steps, built in the early 1880s when the park was established were uncovered. The structure of the pond had been removed in the 1920s and the steps covered in the 1960s. The structures may be reinstated as part of an ongoing Heritage Lottery Fund project.
