Une fois sur place

On foot in Aberdeen

Union Street, Marischal College, the Art Gallery and the Maritime Museum are within a short walk of each other. The harbour, Footdee and the beach lie east of the centre, and Old Aberdeen is a bus ride or a longer walk north.

Bus

First Aberdeen runs most city buses, and Stagecoach Bluebird runs services out to Deeside, Stonehaven and the rest of the shire from Union Square Bus Station. Plan with Traveline Scotland.

Driving on Deeside

The A93 follows the Dee from Aberdeen through Banchory, Aboyne, Ballater and Braemar, then climbs over the Cairnwell Pass towards Perth. Castles away from the main road, such as Craigievar, are easier to reach by car.

Train to Stonehaven

Stonehaven station is on the main line south of Aberdeen. Dunnottar Castle is about 1.6 miles from the town, along a coastal path.
