Hotels in Old Aberdeen, Aberdeen
Old Aberdeen predates the city by centuries — a medieval burgh of cobbled lanes, St Machar's Cathedral and King's College that feels entirely untouched by the granite-grey commerce of the modern centre half a mile south. Locals call it 'Aulton', and most visitors miss it entirely. The university campus hums with coffee shops and secondhand bookshops; the cathedral graveyard is astonishingly peaceful. Early morning, with mist off the Don, it looks like a film set. For Aberdeen without the oil-industry hustle, base here and walk the riverside path back into town.
