For many people, shopping is an important holiday experience and certainly one in which you can indulge in this part of Scotland.

Though city shopping first springs to mind - and Aberdeen offers modern shopping malls and High Street names as good as any city in Britain - the north-east has an excellent range of other speciality shops and other retail businesses both in and out of town.

Small town shopping has its own special charms: not least the more leisurely air in these communities. Aberdeen and Grampian derives some of its wealth from fishing and farming, and this is reflected in stylish shops in comparatively small places - some might even say out of the way places - which are all part of the surprises in store.

From craftwork to exclusive fashion, outdoor gear to antiques, for choice and value, Aberdeen and Grampian will take care of all your shopping urges!

Aberdeen is a compact city with a well - developed bus system including an excellent Park-and-Ride scheme. Almost all the places of visitor interest - Art Gallery, Marischal College, Provost Ross's House, Maritime Museum, shopping malls, Provost Skene's House, harbour and Union Street - are within easy walking distance of each other. Remember to call into our Visitor Information Centre at 23 Union Street, Aberdeen.
