1. Aberdeen, a city that looks different

A city break by the sea. Sounds good, right? Visit Aberdeen, the third largest city in Scotland with beautiful open spaces, a golden beach stretching for a mile and an impressive architecture. The entire city looks and feels different, not just because of Union Street and its magnificent granite buildings but also because of its proximity to the sea and big ships docking right by the streets of the city centre, dolphins appear at the harbour, and locals ride the waves. It has two Old Towns: Old Aberdeen where the cathedral is, and Footdee, known as Fittie, an extravagant fishing quarter with small cottages, lovely gardens, brightly painted houses, and a decoration showcasing the city’s seafaring soul.

2. Explore the Banffshire Coast

The Banffshire coast stretches from Cullen to Peterhead along the Moray Firth. Along the way, you will see picturesque fishing villages including Gardenstown and Crovie, big waves right by towering cliffs, vast swathes of sand, and incredible light show during the sunset and the option to discover Scotland’s natural beauty. Make sure you put this route on your list when visiting Aberdeenshire.

3. Play some golf surrounded by nature

Scotland is not just popular for being the birthplace of golf but for its golf courses Nothing beats a good golf game with outstanding views. The dunes stretching along the coastline are a great scenery for the most challenging links courses and two of the oldest courses in the world- Royal Aberdeen Golf Course and Musselburgh Old Links! Not far from the city centre you have Kings and Murcar Links with incredible sea views. Tee off from Cruden Bay Golf Course or Trump International Golf Links. During summer days, you can start playing early morning until late evening due to the long hours of daylight! In Aberdeenshire, you are never far away from a rolling green fairway!
