A guided walk through Aberdeen offers a local’s perspective on the city’s history and culture. As you move through some of the oldest streets, your guide will explain how the town grew from a small fishing settlement into a centre for the European oil industry. Along the way you will retrace the steps of important local figures and hear about darker chapters of the past, including tunnels and witch trials.
You will pass notable landmarks such as Marischal College and St Nicholas' Kirk, and walk along Netherkirkgate, Shiprow and Union Street. The route also reveals hidden gems tucked away from the main thoroughfares. Alongside the historical sites, the tour highlights the city’s Amazing Aberdeen Street Art scene — from unassuming corners to larger pieces on major buildings — and your guide will point out standout works and explain how street art has become part of local culture.
