Majestic moments

Famous Granite architecture lit by moonlight, ancient castles in a sea of fallen leaves and film famous locations alive with the colours of autumn - in fact, autumn is one of the most picturesque seasons to visit Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire. And it's not just the vibrant sights to embrace this autumn but the chance to experience another side to this part of Scotland - go star gazing (and maybe spot the famous Northern Lights), experience local events and even go on a haunted castle (or prison) tour! Aberdeen Art Gallery will also reopen this autumn (2 November) following a £30+million refurbishment!

This autumn get to know Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire a little better at one of our many events and festivals including a singer-songwriter festival, 11-day comedy festival and even a contemporary dance festival! 

Enjoy a heart warming meal of our famous Aberdeen Angus beef and game straight from the great estates of Royal Deeside. Our restaurants serve up quality steaks and premium venison and have autumnal views to match. In the evening cosy up by a roaring fire with a well-deserved wee dram! These are just some of the vibrant flavours you've got to taste in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire.
