Heritage Walking Trails

The Aberdeen 200 committee have made two walking trails to help you get around The Port of Aberdeen while learning all about the Aberdeen Line, Aberdeen's history in shipbuilding, and Aberdeen's 19th century influence that shaped British culture today.​

Feel free to follow the trail through our website or come and see us in Discovery Quay* to receive a trail map.

*maps only available during the Tall Ships events

Tall Ships Heritage

The maritime history trail is crafted to celebrate the Tall Ships Races and the 200th anniversary of the Aberdeen Line. Set against the backdrop of Aberdeen’s historic port and the charming Footdee (Fittee) harbour, this trail takes you through 14 unique stops highlighting the stories of legendary Clipper ships, tales of the docks, and the vital role of the harbour community.

History of Tea

The Tea Trail dives deep into the complex legacy of how Scotland, and indeed Aberdeen, played a key role in bringing tea to the tea table. Both experiences combines rich storytelling with Aberdeen’s maritime legacy, making history come alive for all ages.
