Union Terrace Gardens is a park in the centre of Aberdeen, Scotland.
The park covers one hectare to the side of Union Terrace, off of Aberdeen's main thoroughfare, Union Street. As a natural amphitheatre, the park is used for concerts and leisure activities, as well as providing somewhere to relax. On the park's north side is a floral crest of the Aberdeen's coat of arms.
At the Union Street end of the gardens are a group of mature Elm trees, approximately 200 years old, that are remnants of a site once known as Corbie Haugh. Corbie is a Scots word for "crow," and crows still nest at the site; Haugh means a low-lying meadow in a river valley, the river in this instance being the Den Burn.
