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.

There are lots of fun statues to photograph in Dundee, Amelia. I love the penguins, Desperate Dan, Dawg and Hermione Makepeace a.k.a. Minnie the Minx. Cheers, Joe

A great shot of the penguins, Amelia. Also of the "Discovery", used by Scott and Mawson, which I enjoyed visiting some years ago.
