Our popular Pittencrieff Park, or 'The Glen' as it's more commonly known as by local people, has over 750,000 visitors each year. Well known for its resident peacocks, the 76-acre park is of huge historical and cultural significance.

Future plans

Over the next few years we will increase our efforts to promote and conserve the wildlife and biodiversity of Pittencrieff Park. We will also provide educational opportunities, interpretive resources and activities for the local community and all park visitors.

  • Ongoing monitoring of wildlife within Pittencrieff Park
  • Planting of native species of wildflowers, ferns, shrubs and trees
  • The addition of bird and bat boxes, as well as bird and insect feeders
  • Any new planting will be of native species
  • Existing areas of woodland, wildflower and any other plant life will be managed appropriately to enhance the growth of native species
  • Ongoing monitoring of non-native species
  • Removal of non-native species found
