Join us for a stroll around the port city of Aberdeen!
Aberdeen is the 3rd largest city in Scotland and often flies under the radar for tourists. It is located on the North East coast where the rivers Dee and Don meet. The surrounding area, Aberdeenshire, is filled with numerous castles, rolling hills, coastlines and distilleries.
Many of the city's buildings were built from locally quarried grey granite during the 18th and 20th centuries, giving the city a distinctive colour palette. The Neo-Gothic design of the Marischal College is a striking and beautiful piece of architecture that's not to be missed!
Since the discovery of North Sea Oil in 1969, Aberdeen became the oil capital of Europe which gave the city a huge economic boom. Today, the city boasts many restaurants, cafes, shops and historical places of interest such as the harbour, The Gordon Highlander's Museum, Aberdeen Town House, Aberdeen Art Gallery, Aberdeen Maritime Museum, The Tolbooth and Provost Skene's House, dating from 1545 and the oldest townhouse in the city!
