Old Aberdeen

About Old Aberdeen

Aberdeen, Scotland’s third-largest city, was shaped by two communities: New Aberdeen and Old Aberdeen. Old Aberdeen, with its cobbled streets, is home to St Machar's Cathedral, Kings College (founded in 1495), and other historic gems. Wander through the charming Chanory and visit the Cruickshank Botanic Garden, University of Aberdeen Zoology Museum, and the striking Sir Duncan Rice Library. Explore Seaton Park and the Brig o’ Balgownie, dating back to the 13th or 14th century. For more on what to see in Old Aberdeen, click here
