Running along the edge of the Turret Burn the parks were provided to the town by past provosts and civic leaders.

Opened in 1902, MacRosty was named after its benefactor James MacRosty, former provost of the town.

The park boasts an impressive collection of conifer trees – Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga taxifolia), noble fir (Abies procera), Norway spruce (Picea abies) and cedar (Cedrus Libani).

The excellent path network takes in the Turret Burn and the Victorian bandstand, gifted by the brother of James MacRosty, hosts concerts in the summer.

Easy going walks. Children’s play area and picnic area.
