I’ve a couple of hours to kill in Aberdeen. What is worth seeing?

Go to the Grill and get pissed. Great selection of Malt Whisky there 🙂

Sounds good but driving

Depends where in Aberdeen you are as 2 hours isn’t much time. If your in town then head to the maritime museum if you don’t want to go to any shops. Quite interesting in there.

union terrace gardens …. oh wait, didnt think that one through.

my personal favorite is the winter gardens in duthie park – and actually duthie park in general is a nice place to be.

Sit in traffic

Depends where you are, Maritime museum is good as is marishal museum, zoology museum and duthie park could be work a look since the squillion £ upgrade spent on it.

If I had two hours to kill in Aberdeen I’d head for the beach – have a wander and a brew.

When I was in a similar situation a couple of years back I just drove up the coast road toward Peterhead… fantastic scenery.

If he’s got just two hours, he’s not driving anywhere.

It takes half that time just to get out if your in the centre.

Sand dollar cafe at the beach is good.

where do you live ? in a chinese pipe ? i drove to peterheed last sunday – wont be doing that again.

maybe it was different before trump built his monstrosity.

also piemonster – thats only true if your doing it at rushhour like

Glen Garioch Distillery – its half an hours drive though?

Another vote for the maritime museum – its the only thing I could find during a couple of days stay a few years ago.

This is exactly why I take a camera with me now – kill some time whilst waiting for meetings that are inevitably late due to traffic 😯

Sorry, I was being a tad facetious about the traffic.

trail_rat, Canna see how you can make a comment like that, you cant even see the course form the road!!!

What part of maybe isnt clear in my statement ?

Well the part that says, what difference is there to the road/scenery since the course was opened has changed?

Read a book and wait until you can leave?

Well thats why i said maybe….. I didnt drive it before it was built. But last sunday its hardly the road described above…

Doesnt take away from the fact its a monstrosity an should never have been allowed.

I actually live in Peterhead and can defo confirm its nae as described above…lol 😀

The Art Gallery is worth a visit too.

2 hours is no way enough time to go anywhere out of town imho

If I had two hours to kill in Aberdeen I’d head for the beach – have a wander and a brew

if it’s nice, a cup of tea and a bacon roll sat outside the inversnecky cafe. odds on you’ll see dolphins, i have more often than not

When I’m up that way and I head into the city centre I usually end up wandering around the art gallery for a while. I’ve also done the same with the maritime museum. Sadly the Marischal College museum still appears to be shut.

just chiil on the beach there isnt much else worth doing.
maybe a lap dancing club
