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 Regeneration Project has announced the duck race will return on Saturday at 11am at the Grange Burn, which borders Zetland Park.
