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.

From the striking simplicity of the medieval Great Hall to the well-stocked library and Victorian bedrooms, a tour of the castle gives a sense of walking through history. Each laird stamped his personality on the family seat, from the various ways of spying on those in the Great Hall to trophies gathered on global adventures. The panoramic views from the top of the round tower are spectacular, revealing the courtyard, gardens and estate beyond, ready to be explored. The distinctive peaks of Bennachie can be seen in the distance. The traditional walled garden includes specimen trees, herbaceous borders, a medicinal border and organically grown fruit and vegetables. There are two waymarked walks on the estate that offer magnificent views of the local area.
Had an amazing time, visited Castle Fraser and gardens, we had nearly a private tour of the property (4 of us) with an excellent guide, she was French and was so knowledgeable, made our visit very interesting

This site is closed for now. We’re working hard to gradually reopen the places you love while making sure the experience is safe for everyone. A magnificent early Georgian mansion, designed by William Adam for the Earl of Fife. It is considered to be an Adam masterpiece and is one of the most important buildings in the North. The foundation stone was laid on the 11th June 1735 and the building was finished five years later, although it took over 100 years to complete the interior. Duff House is a jewel set in a stunning triangle of coast, river and parkland. There is a tea room and shop on ground-floor level, as well as temporary exhibitions by visiting artists and societies.
Unfortunately we could not see inside Duff house due to Covid-19 restrictions, but even from the outside, it looks magnificent. Be sure to do the forest walks from here to Alvah Bridge, stopping off to see the Icehouse and the Mausoleum.

Designed by architects Archibald Simpson and James Matthews, this historic structure serves as both a major concert hall and an architecturally significant landmark.
Great night with Galik Bred playing. Great caelidh with everyone managing to follow great instructions from the girls in the band! Super variety of dances from the eightsome reel to the hooligans jig! Do wish the Music Hall would put more caelidhs on as it’s such a perfect venue. Bar staff did well too!

Lovely wee walk just outside Tarves, short 20 minute walk uphill to the prop of ythsie. You can climb to the top of the tower which gives you commanding views over Aberdeenshire from Bennachie to the North Sea.
This charming stone structure dates back to the early 17th century.
