Step back in time in Old Aberdeen, where cobbled streets and historic architecture tell the story of the city’s origins. Discover St Machar’s Cathedral, a magnificent 15th-century landmark and the University of Aberdeen, founded in 1495 by Bishop Elphinstone.
Stroll through the tranquil Cruickshank Botanic Garden and the leafy paths of Seaton Park before crossing the Brig o’ Balgownie, one of Scotland’s oldest bridges.
Just along the coast lies Footdee (known locally as Fittie), a former fishing village transformed into one of Aberdeen’s most charming spots. Its colourful cottages and close-knit courtyards capture the city’s maritime heritage and creative spirit.
From centuries-old landmarks to hidden coastal gems, Aberdeen perfectly blends history, character, and charm.
(Please note: Fittie remains a residential community, so visitors are asked to be respectful.)
