Heritage trail leaflets have been developed in Aberdeen for a number of years now and cover a wide range of places, themes and ideas of interest to tourists and locals alike. Each trail contains a suggested walking route (or routes in some cases) for you to enjoy. We are interested to find out what areas or themes you might like us to develop, so please feel free to share your ideas with us and remember that we are also available to take your community group on a guided tour as well.
