How much of the city do you need?

I always thought the view from where Northsound is, was quite cool. Y'know, coming down the hill.

Thanks all, they're exactly the sorts of things I'm after!

Up past the sewage plant, on the top of that hill or round the other side at that parking location down from the lighthouse.

[Marillionboy]

Sorry Mark, what sewage plant?

[MarkJDelaney]

See to the left of "Nigg Bay", below the parking sign. It's the "Wks" text. That's the sewage plant.

If you make you're way up the road (down if you're looking at the map) you get higher. I don't know how good the view is of the city though.

I would say up at Hazelhead golfcourse or up by the cremitorium, where the house is there is a path if you go down that a bit you get a good view of the north side of Aberdeen.

There is a decent viewpoint on the Kincorth Gramps - they are also nice panoramic views from the Torry Gramps / Tullos Cairn area (where there has been loads of fires recently).

The top of the Citadel cannot really be topped for a unique birds eye view of the city.

I would also recommend the path that goes from HH park past the nine holer towards the 2 nd 18 course. Up near the top gets a unique view.

The view from the Inst for Medical Studies at Forsterhill is great as well - and its open to the public this Sat for Doors Open Day.

Thanks heaps...where's the CItadel by the way?

Is it my imagination or does one of the roads off the Spital, maybe Sunnybank Road, have a good view from it too?

[MattJimF]

the citidel is the tower at the end of the castlegate.

[Marillionboy]

Thought that's where you meant...is it open to the public?
