    Aberdeen Football Club was founded in 1903 when three of the city teams joined together to create the Dons - named after the river which flows nearby. Aberdeen F.C. play their home games at Pittodrie Stadium, capacity 22,199, situated near the beach promonade. The clubs mascot is Angus the Bull but if you check out the YouTube Link you will see Dolly the Sheep - an Aberdeen joke and a taunt from oppossing fans. The Northern LightsThe supporters are known as the "RED ARMY" and their motto is "STAND FREE" Although I have been to Pittodrie - one time was by default when I went - not to see the Mighty Dons - but to see Rod Stewart in Concert I have been to see them play but not as often as two of my Sons who proudly put themselves amongst the RED ARMY!

    Equipment: The team colour are RED so bring along your football scarf - unless you are supporting the opposition!

    During Harbour Day (held in August) you can have a trip in a little fishing boat. See where the fishermen place their creels to haul up some lobster & other sea creatures. At other times of the year if a boat is going out just ask the fisherman he will probably oblige

    Equipment: No equipment necessary

    In Summer you can watch a game of cricket being played at Duthie Park, the Aberdeen University has a team called the Bon Accord Cricket Club and were Scottish Universities first Xl champions in 2006. They play at all levels and abilities. So if you want to know the score = see a cricket match.

    Lot's of bowling lanes with good disabled facilities & shoe hire.
    Bowling is fun for families but there are a lot of temptations for children to throw away their parents' money namely slot machines & video games.

    Equipment: None required

     Spectacular scenery! Thanks for giving us a virtual tour of your village, it really is lovely! Wallace's fate makes us remember how cruel people can be. Liked the updates with lovely new pictures.    		Nemorino Tue Oct 20, 2009 15:21 UTC
     It's been nearly a year since I last looked at this page, so I thought I'd check back for additions. Interesting updates on the long granite façade and the River Ythan and the Castle Gate area.
