What to see by foot: Aberdeen
    
Aberdeen is a fairly compact city and exploring the various attractions by
foot is a good option. The Satrosphere is Scotland's first science centre. It
provides fun for all age groups, discovering science in a hands-on manner.
Perhaps the most notable historic building in the city is the King's College
Chapel (containing a collection dating from the 15th century), which is located
in the magnificent King's College. Aberdeen is also blessed by three magnificent
cathedrals, the outstanding feature of St Machar's Cathedral is the heraldic
ceiling (c.1520), while St Andrew's Episcopal Cathedral in King Street and St
Mary's Roman Catholic Cathedral are also impressive.
The Aberdeen Fun Beach runs along the entire length of the promenade and is
backed by a whole range of attractions; bars, cafés, restaurants, and
even a golf complex. Other attractions here are the Beach Leisure Centre, Linx
Ice Arena, a multiplex cinema, a nightclub, as well as the largest permanent
fun fair in Scotland. Also, the home of the Aberdeen Football Club is just behind
the Beach, at the Pittodrie Stadium.
There are several museums and galleries that are worth visiting in Aberdeen.
The Aberdeen Art Gallery houses a collection of 18th to 20th century art, including
a sculpture court, which shows the various hues of granite available in the
area. The Maritime Museum illustrates the history of the North Sea, as well
as the off-shore oil and gas, shipbuilding and fishing industries. The Marischal
Museum houses a display of Scottish archaeology, outlining not only social history
in Scotland, but also in Greece and Egypt. The Gordon Highlanders Museum focuses
on two centuries of gallantry in Scotland.
To experience life in the 16th century, visit the Provost Skene's House, which
is furnished and decorated in the style of a 16th century town house. The Costume
Gallery shows the elegance of the day and the Painted Gallery houses some of
Scotland's most important religious paintings.
