What to see in Aberdeen
Aberdeen Attractions
Aberdeen has a few worthy attractions to draw tourists into its Highland embrace. The Maritime Museum and Aberdeen Art Gallery are worth a visit to get the flavour of the local culture, while picturesque Brig o' Balgownie and lovely Duthie Park are at their best in the summer months, May to August. A little further afield is the malt whisky trail of the Grampian Highlands, and Balmoral Castle, one of the most magnificent castles in the British Isles. Dress warmly while sightseeing in Aberdeen as the weather is changeable throughout the year.
