The Iconic Aberdeen Sign: A Must-See Landmark

Getting There

• Walking

  If you are near the city center, start at Union Square Shopping Centre. Exit the shopping center and head northwest towards Guild Street. Continue straight on Guild Street until you reach the traffic lights. Cross the road at the traffic lights and turn left onto Union Terrace. Continue walking along Union Terrace for about 5 minutes. The Aberdeen Sign will be located on your right-hand side, just opposite the entrance to Union Terrace Gardens.

• Public Transport (Bus)

  From the Aberdeen Bus Station, take any bus heading towards Union Terrace or the city center. You can ask the driver to let you know when you reach Union Terrace. Once you alight, look for Union Terrace Gardens across the road; the Aberdeen Sign is located nearby. Just walk towards the gardens, and the sign will be visible.

• Walking from Duthie Park

  If you are starting from Duthie Park, exit the park and walk towards Polmuir Road. Turn left onto Polmuir Road and continue walking until you reach the junction with Riverside Drive. Cross the road and turn right onto Riverside Drive, then follow it until you reach the traffic lights at the roundabout. Take the first exit onto Union Terrace. The Aberdeen Sign will be a short walk ahead on your left, near the gardens.
