Absolutely pointless. It's cold, windy (which Aberdeen is famous for all year round) and no buses. Whats wrong with filling Union Street first.

The Green is one of the oldest & most significant parts of Aberdeen, and is believed by historians to be an early nucleus plan of the medieval burgh. Also, excavations in 1976 discovered remains of a Mesolithic flint industry having sprung up here some 8000 years ago, that continued well into the Neolithic & Bronze Age. This area also supported 2 friaries in medieval times, as well as being a thriving craft and trade area with markets and breweries. Today, it still has a unique identity and romantically gothic atmosphere , with it’s tall narrow buildings , cobbled streets and eclectic collection of individual shops and pavement culture cafes and bars. The steep Back Wynd steps from Union Street down to The Green are a feature to look out for. ( Fun to go down - not so much going up!) There’s also the added attraction of looking at all the wonderfully diverse artwork and murals on the buildings and doors. The Green is presently undergoing a major renovation as the Aberdeen Market building has been demolished, and there are plans afoot to replace it with a £50 million continental market.
