Dundurn Park and Castle

Dundurn Park, located to the north-west of the city, is about 31 acres in extent. It overlooks Hamilton Bay, the view from the drives being very fine. It was formerly the private property of Sir Allan McNab, who was a famous host in his day. The property was purchased from the late Senator Donald McInnes in the year 1899 for $50,000. In the centre of the grounds is the magnificent castle, now fitted up as a museum and refreshment quarter.
