I’m taking my daughter to university open day in Aberdeen tomorrow. She wants to see a bit of the city afterwards. Got a long journey to drive home (pesky rail strikes) so on a bit of a tight schedule. What is worth seeing? Reluctantly I think best to plan around a 17yr old version of interesting rather than mine (so no harbour tours to see big boats)

Cheers

If it’s not to bad weather wise take a walk round and look at the street art?

Art gallery might work, she likes that.

It’s Aberdeen Uni, rather than RGU

Maritime museum has a mini ROV in a fish tank that you can drive about. Kids love it!

I visited the D&G Viking Hoard in the art gallery this week. Well worth a visit!
