The 10 Best Sacred & Religious Sites in Aberdeen, Scotland

July 30, 2021 Sachiko Swiger

Experience the richness of Aberdeen’s proud history and culture — from the sound of residents’ traditional Doric accent to the sights of glittering granite buildings lining the city’s streets. Explore the cobbled roads and historic university buildings of Old Aberdeen, then take a stroll along the nearby sandy beach and watch for dolphins in the busy harbour. Afterward, find your way to the quaint fishing quarter of Footdee, and lose yourself among its tiny cottages and colourful gardens.

King's College Chapel

Reviewed By WienerTravels - Hamilton, Canada

Kings College Chapel is a beautiful Chapel that dates back to the 15th Century. We walked to it from the City Center which took about 35 minutes and is a pleasant walk. In addition to the Chapel, spend some extra time walking around the University grounds it's located on.
