Great Scot: Free Walking Tour of Old Aberdeen

About This Event

Great Scot: Free Walking Tour of Old Aberdeen is a guided walking tour of the historic Old Aberdeen area. The tour begins at 11:00 on 31 July 2026 outside Mercat Cross and is free to attend. No booking is required for this outdoor experience.

For over five hundred years, Old Aberdeen has been one of the great centres of learning in the North of Scotland. There can be no better place to celebrate Aberdeen's greatest thinkers, scientists, explorers, inventors, writers and gardeners (yes, we do mean gardeners).

We'll explore the hidden places in this historic burgh, to tell the stories of some great Scots whose achievements did not get the recognition they deserved.

The tour lasts two hours and starts outside the Townhouse on the High Street in Old Aberdeen.

Tours are funded entirely by donations.
