A neo-classical house built in 1828 and designed by the architect William Burn. It was named after the Battle of Camperdown, where Admiral Adam Duncan triumphed over the Dutch fleet in 1797. The Duncan family used a pension granted by a grateful British government, to build this magnificent house. The park was officially opened to the public in 1946; it houses a wildlife centre, with more than 300 animals, and other recreational facilities.
