What to do and see in Aberdeen, Scotland: The Best Monuments & Statues

April 22, 2022 Roger Rusk

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.

William Wallace Statue

Reviewed By CarlH1540

The statue of William Wallace has him in the battle garb of his era - chainmail armor, tunic, 2-handed claighmor sword. Almost all of the movie Braveheart is factually wrong, this statue helps correct that - kilts were introduced some 2 centuries after Wallace died, and face paint had gone out at least a half millennium earlier. The nice thing is you can swing by the statue and in 5 or 10 minutes be on your way to your next stop.
