March of the Penguins

Nethergate, Dundee

Dundee has actually been associated with penguins for a long time. One reason for this association is the RRS Discovery, a ship now located at Dundee’s waterfront. Its first ever mission was to the British National Antarctica, which happens to be the home of the penguin. As a result of the ship’s successful mission, which saw the first sighting of an emperor penguin alongside extensive scientific research, the bird has become an important symbol of Dundee’s many explorers and inventors.

In addition to this historical association, there are also five penguin sculptures located at City Churches in Dundee that have become a firm favorite with the Dundee public. Sculpted by Angela Hunter, these penguins are regularly dressed up to join in city occasions such as graduation, charity fundraising events, Christmas celebrations and Royal visits.
