Springbank cemetery was
established in 1884 and is still in use to the present day. The memorials
reflect a number of differing upright styles from the late Victorian
period onwards.
Located in the
west end of Aberdeen on Springfield Road this is a beautiful graveyard
which is well maintained and features many mature trees and shrubs.
A lovely
sheltered place ideal for a stroll on a sunny day.
The cemetery is roughly divided into two sections with the larger
established part laid out in interesting curves, circles and segments.
The more modern section to the north is laid out in regimented rows
and is less interesting visually, though by no means bleak.
Most paths consist of tarmac making walking an easy affair.
This cemetery is most certainly well worth a visit and is in my view one
of the prettiest in the city.
Parking is easy on the opposite side of Springfield
Road just along from the library.
Highly recommended.
