Explore the highlights of beautiful, vibrant Aberdeen on this fascinating two-hour private walking tour with an expert local guide.
As a port city, Aberdeen has a fascinating maritime history, a scenic coastline, and an interesting - often bloody - history. Also known as the Granite City, for its imposing and historic architecture, Aberdeen was built at the convergence of the Don and Dee rivers where they meet the Atlantic.
The name translates as 'mouth of the river Don' - aber is a Pictish word meaning river mouth, and the Don is named after the Gallo Roman goddess of springs and Rivers, Divona. Today it is famous as the off-shore capital of Europe, but prehistoric settlements and villages show the area has been inhabited for over 8000 years. You'll see statues of three Scottish heroes around the city - among the austere silvery granite architecture: William Wallace, Robert the Bruce, and Robert Burns.
Aberdeen was once famous for its fishing, shipbuilding, paper-making, and textiles. However, these industries have been replaced by more modern high-tech firms, banks, accountancy, as well as the oil industry. Today, Aberdeen is a thriving, contemporary city famous for its architecture, culture, music, and visual arts - especially its amazing, world-famous street art scene.
There are also a fantastic 45 green parks for walking and relaxing - as well as the nearby international golf courses and of course many, many historic whiskey distilleries - Scotland's national tipple!
