The last duck race took place in the burn back in 2019 when the fun day – which featured 600 of the little sponsored plastic quackers – helped raise cash for the regeneration of Zetland Park, specifically the rose garden.

Now Zetland Park Rengeration Project has announced the duck race will return on Saturday, September 25.

The annual event – like the town’s Children’s Day has become a much loved tradition only a pandemic could put a damper on.
