Beach

Despite its location at a latitude more northerly than Moscow, Aberdeen in the summer is not only a fun city but also a great beach destination. The water is a tad cold for swimming but the expansive beaches are perfect for walking or flying a kite. The sun often shines, the weather is mild and the sky frequently is a bright blue. This is the ideal destination for long beach walks, water sports and whale watching.

Arts & Culture

Approximately 30 kilometres from Aberdeen is the impressive Castle Fraser, one of Scotland’s most illustrious structures. The 5-storey, 16th-century giant is the largest of its kind as well as being beautifully situated on a 140-hectare estate. A proper Scottish castle, it is popular among tourists, wedding planners – and ghosts!
