What You Will Do

We will take you on a tour to some of the most interesting historical areas of Old Aberdeen and Aberdeen. In Old Aberdeen, we explore the buildings of the 15th Century University, a 12th Century Cathedral with an amazing heraldic ceiling and a dark secret. We visit other fascinating areas and buildings and a secret graveyard very few locals know about. We then take an interesting 25 minute walk to historic parts of Aberdeen’s City Centre. Whilst exploring impressive historical buildings and areas, including one of the world’s largest granite buildings, you also learn about and visit the sites of the brutal realities of medieval times. Aberdeen has been the site of military invasions, riots and body snatching and you also find out about the local officials who colluded in the 18th century to kidnap and sell children. Our tour covers 800 captivating years. Access to Chapel interiors is subject to availability and seasonal opening times. Please contact us for details.
