The setting is beautiful in old Aberdeen. Worth a walking visit through the area and then to the church and then to walk on through the woods behind the cathedral to the River Don.

Its is in a lovely surrounding area. Peaceful, great for visiting if out and about for a walk. Stunningly beautiful inside the cathedral

Superb architecture to admire and soak up the atmosphere. Inside had nice windows and was pleasant if not as spectacular as the exterior. It is a long walk from Aberdeen centre, take the 20 bus.

You must all check out St Machars. It is beautiful inside and out and steeped in history. set in Old Aberdeen you need at least a day to see the whole area. Go on a Sunday and join in one of the church services the acoustics are fantastic

Right next to the University of Aberdeen campus the cathedral is a must see if you are in the area. An absolutely gorgeous wedding church too!

The graveyard is also very interesting, boasting a large number of graves, varying greatly in age and style. Well worth... More

There's the old beggar's stump, piles of various granites, a hill where surely the Romans stood and decided to carry on extend their tour of the area. And its not too far from Kilau Coffee

I am not a religious person, but had a great time wandering around the graveyard and soaking up the history of this wonderful building. Inside the cathedral is also steeped in history as are a lot of the nearby buildings in Old Aberdeen.

One of the must to see places in Aberdeen. Historical building in the quiet environment constituting old city together with very close University of Aberdeen. There is no entrance fee but you can make a donation. There are leaflets in different languages (even Polish that is not a case in even the most popular places) so you can read all... More
