Camperdown Park

Camperdown is an area of Dundee, Scotland, best known for Camperdown Park, which is the largest in the city.

The name is actually Dutch in origin, being the English version of Kamperduin, a village of the North Holland province (north of Haarlem) on the North Sea coast of the Netherlands. The reason for this is because of Adam Duncan (1 July 1731 - 4 August 1804), who defeated the Dutch fleet off there on 11 October 1797. This victory, the Battle of Camperdown, was considered one of the most significant actions in naval history. Camperdown House was in turn named after this, and ended up giving its name to this part of Dundee.



Camperdown Park
Camperdown Park is the location of Camperdown House, built in 1828 for Robert Duncan, Earl of Camperdown and son of Admiral Duncan, who defeated the Dutch at the Battle of Camperdown in 1797.

The park was officially opened to the public in 1946; it houses a wildlife centre, with more than 300 animals, and various other recreational facilities.



Camperdown is famous in gardens worldwide as the origin of the Camperdown Elm, which was discovered about 1835 - 1840 by the Earl of Camperdown’s head forester, David Taylor, who noticed a mutant contorted Wych Elm branch sprawling along the ground. The earl's gardener produced the first Camperdown Elm by grafting it to the trunk of a normal Wych Elm (Ulmus glabra). Every Camperdown Elm in the world is from a cutting taken from that original tree and is grafted on a U. glabra trunk.

Camperdown Park was the venue of BBC Radio 1's [Big Weekend] music festival in May 2006.
