Hidden Aberdeen Tours
Hidden Aberdeen Tours offer a number of historical-themed walks, usually lasting 2hrs, such as "Forgotten Fittie", "Tales of Old Torry", "Lost Cinemas", "Old Aberdeen's Architectural Secrets" and have mini-tours of one hour in length around Duthie Park, Old Aberdeen and Torry.
Hidden Aberdeen Tours also offer indoor storytelling events at three of the city's pubs, sited in historic areas, e.g. Ma Cameron's, possibly the oldest hostelry in Aberdeen. These sessions focus on the darker aspects of local history such as crime, execution, riots, ghosts - Dr Brown and members of Grampian Association of Storytellers entertain you in a warm, comfortable environment with tales of the past to thrill and chill at! We can take private bookings for groups of 8+, please contact us for details. A few routes are suitable for wheelchairs & mobility scooters. You can buy tickets on our website or purchase from Visit Scotland's iCentre in Union Street. Hidden Aberdeen Tours is the city's premier walking tour company - founded in 2011, run by local historian and author, Dr Fiona-Jane Brown.
