This walk starts in Aberdeen's Duthie Park gardens and follows closely the banks of the River Dee. It involves crossing a couple of very busy main roads but otherwise is a very quiet rural walk. After hugging the banks of the river, it turns inland past a reservoir and nature reserve before reaching the site of the former Deeside Railway line. The walk continues along this until it returns to Duthie Park, whose winter gardens are worth a visit at any time of year.

Please note parts of this route have been recently tarred (July 2005).

Great walk with a surprising country-feel stroll along the river Dee combined with an urban feel on the return route via the Deeside Railway Track. Suitable for winter, but one would have to be careful on the river tracks which can get slippery when wet. The banks of the Dee just before the turn off at Inchgarth would make a great picnic spot in warm weather. Also watch out for otters! They were another lovely surprise.
