Aberdeen West End Travel Guide

Aberdeen

Playground in Rubislaw playing fields This is one of seven children's playgrounds in the West End of Aberdeen that I visited in the course of an eighty minute dog walk. The others are mainly for younger children. The seven are Rubislaw, Kepplestone, Johnston Gardens, Craigiebuckler, Airyhall, Craigielea and Thorngrove.
