HWW from the Dundee Penguins.

HWW from the Dundee Penguins.
Sculpted by Angela Hunter these five penguins, located on the wall of the Steeple Church, have become a firm favourite with the Dundee public and are Dundee’s answer to Glasgow’s Duke of Wellington statue. I hardly think that this is a fair comparison. ;-)

The penguins are regularly dressed to join in city occasions from graduation to charity fundraising events and from Christmas celebrations to Royal visits.

Dundee has actually been associated with penguins for a long time – hence the group of them getting some exercise in the city centre.

You’ll perhaps know a bit about the RRS Discovery, the beautiful ship now located at Dundee’s waterfront. Its first ever mission was to the British National Antarctica – which just happens to be, the home of the penguin.

I can see why they have become a favourite Amelia! I love them :-))
Love your PiP also! My brother was married in Dundee but it rained non-stop, so our sight seeing was severely curtailed unfortunately. One day maybe I will get there again.

Oh Amelia you have made my day, - these penguins are adorable. Love how the one on the higher part of the way is looking down, almost as if he is about to jump!! Really enjoyable notes and a super shot of the Discovery. She is a beauty.

HWW and have a lovely day
