Other sites of interest:
The Snow Kirk
‘The Wallace Tower’, more accurately called Benholme’s Lodging
The Mote Hill
Aberdeen City Council has developed a number of attractive leaflets that describes themed trails around Aberdeen and there is one for this area called ‘Old Aberdeen Trail’. This can be obtained from the tourist office in Broad Street (that’s in the main bit of Aberdeen), and should be available in other places too, but if you can’t get hold of one there is a downloadable file available here : - old-aberdeen-walking-trail . You will need to print it double-sided then fold double into a booklet to make sense of it.
