Things you must do in Aberdeen City & Shire

Follow in Queen Victoria’s footsteps
The valley of the River Dee – Royal Deeside – has been the holiday playground of the British Royal Family since Queen Victoria’s day. Take a trip up Glen Muick near Balmoral Castle – magnificent red deer views almost guaranteed. This was a favourite spot of hers. Fine mountain and loch scenery.

Take the Castle Trail
So many castles in this part of Scotland that you can follow a signposted trail round the finest of them. Craigievar is reckoned to be the most perfect, some say. Untouched since the builder finished in 1626. You might even hear it was the inspiration for the Walt Disney castle logo. Judge for yourself – but it certainly looks like a fairytale castle.

Experience “Old Aberdeen”
Within Aberdeen city, the area north of King's College is known as Old Aberdeen and includes the University, founded in 1494. Several interesting medieval buildings are found in the vicinity of the High Street, most being situated between the Old Town and St Machar's Cathedral. It is worth strolling around and soaking up the atmosphere in this part of the city.
