[Aberdeen travel guide](https://expedia.ca/Aberdeen.dx6054175)

#### Stroll around a historic fishing quarter, perched on the edge of Aberdeen harbour, for a journey into the city’s maritime history.

Escape from the increasingly modern city centre of Aberdeen and disappear into the 19th-century atmosphere of Footdee. This beautifully preserved corner of the city was designed to house the local fishing community. Wander around the old quarter, one of Aberdeen’s two old towns, to enjoy a charming waterfront atmosphere, friendly restaurants and historical sights.

Stroll around a harbour area that has been occupied since the medieval era. The settlement of “Fittie,” as the area is still known by some locals, was established in the late 1300s. The current layout was designed by Aberdeen architect John Brown, who created this village for the city’s fishermen in 1809.

Explore North Square and South Square, the two main squares of Footdee. Seen from one angle, the buildings appear to be uniform. Admire the eclectic collection of houses from the inside of the square, however, to see a more unusual and varied architectural arrangement. Rows of street lamps make the old village equally appealing for an evening walk.

Look for sights such as the Footdee Mission Hall, an austere 19th-century church building. The Footdee War Memorial, on the southern tip of the harbour peninsula, commemorates the residents of Footdee who fought and died in the two world wars.

Relax while your children wear themselves out in the play area, which is designed with a nautical theme. The village also overlooks Aberdeen Beach, known for its soft sand and occasionally high winds.

Come to Footdee in the evening for dinner in one of the popular restaurants and cafés that line the edges of the old village. Fishing is still an important industry here, which means that your dish will mostly likely be freshly caught that day.

Take a bus from Aberdeen city centre to Footdee or walk here following the route from the Tourist Information Centre. The full walk comes back via Aberdeen’s city beach and leads past sights such as the Tolbooth Museum and the merchant buildings on Regent Quay. There is no charge to explore Footdee, which is open throughout the year.

Great central location and affordable. Budget hotel standard but lots of potential. The Brentwood needs lots of TLC and a deep clean. The room I was in had a strong unpleasant smell, stained carpet, furniture and walls. After a clean and purchasing an air freshener in was tolerable.
