West End Park in Alloa, from the air © HES

Aerial images show just how central parks are to our lives !

Imagine meeting an elephant in the park. Back in the day, circus elephants would get off the train and walk through town to perform in the park.

For #wellbeingwednesday we know during #lockdown, remaining active is all the more challenging. Get outside and active if you can. It will improve your mood and give you energy. Make it fun, keep it local and keep your distance. Living Streets Scotland The Breathe Project - Aberfeldy Lambhill Stables #Dailydoseofgreenspace #Parks4Life #staylocal

Bring #nature into your livingroom if you can't get out. If you can get out for your #DailyDoseofGreenspace why not see if you can spot birds on your route? RSPB has handy #bird identifier tool bit.ly/2RMrMBU #Parks4Life #staylocal Naturehood Glasgow Scottish Wildlife Trust

Gliding into the weekend with this graceful swan at Ochlochy Park in Dunblane to bring you today's #DailyDoseOfGreenspace

Normally there would be no better way to celebrate the arrival of summer than a picnic in the park 😁. On #throwbackthursday we invite you to visit Pittencrief Park in Dunfermline, Fife.

 

The 'Glen' was given to Dunfermline by Scottish American steel king Andrew Carnegie in 1903. He bought the land the year before as part of his 'Gospel of Wealth', which called on the rich to use their money to improve society. Folk in Dunfermline have been holding picnics in the park for over 100 years. ©Newsquest (Herald&Times)

If you are able to get outside this Easter Sunday there may not be an Easter Egg hunt then why not have some fun and fly a kite? #Dailydoseofgreenspace #Parks4Life #staylocal

We can still have fun but use quiet and local greenspaces.

Tough news that a longer #lockdown is likely + we need cheering up 😀

Cycle speedway ,Pilrig Park, Edinburgh ©The Scotsman Publications Ltd.

The park was once part of the grounds of Pilrig House and came into city ownership in 1920. The name 'Pilrig' possibly means a field where a fortified tower stood. Cycle speedways were popular in post war Scotland as a way for young people to enjoy themselves in cities.

A lot of us will not have the opportunity to take part in #walktoworkday. It's still important to get out once a day if you can - and even better if you can enjoy a bit of greenspace on your route #DailyDoseofGreenspace #COVID19 #staylocal #parks4life #Silverburn #Leven #Fife

Take your time and look up at the trees on your #Dailydoseofgreenspace walk. We would love to see your tree images #Parks4Life #COVID19 #staylocal

#throwbackthursday feels like a lifetime ago so take time to remember the good times meeting friends, playing, picnicing and even #volunteering in parks before lockdown.
