Getting There

• Walking

  Start your journey at the Aberdeen city center. Head north on Union Street towards the traffic lights at the intersection with Holburn Street. Cross the road and continue straight onto St. Nicholas Street. When you reach the roundabout, take the second exit onto Gallowgate Street. Continue walking until you reach the intersection with King Street. Turn left onto King Street and follow it until you reach the next roundabout. Here, take the first exit onto the A96. You will see a sign for Old Aberdeen. Follow the A96 for about 1 mile, passing through a residential area. When you reach the next roundabout, take the second exit onto the B983 and continue straight until you reach The Chanonry. St. Machar's Cathedral will be on your left.

• Public Transport (Bus)

  From Aberdeen city center, head to the bus station on Guild Street. Look for the bus services that head towards Old Aberdeen or the University of Aberdeen. You can take bus number 1, 2, or 3, which frequently run to Old Aberdeen. Once you board the bus, stay on for approximately 15 minutes, depending on traffic. Get off at the stop named 'St. Machar's Cathedral.' From the bus stop, walk a short distance east along The Chanonry, and you will see St. Machar's Cathedral ahead on your right.

• Bicycle

  If you prefer cycling, you can rent a bike from one of the local bike-sharing services available in Aberdeen. Start at the city center and head towards the river on the cycle path next to the River Dee. Follow the path north, then cross the river using the bridge at the end of the path. Continue on the dedicated cycle lane along King Street until you reach the B983. Turn left and follow the road until you reach The Chanonry. St. Machar's Cathedral will be on your left.
