Aberdeen's Tourist Graffiti Trail

Welcome to Aberdeen. Welcome to Aberdeen's Tourist Graffiti Trail. Please enjoy trekking round our City Centre.

Start at Cowdray Hall on Schoolhill (look for the lions), and attempt to locate the photos in the numerical order presented below.

You will need to use Google Maps and self-navigate (that's what makes it fun!), but if you find all the graffiti in the following order you will enjoy a leisurely 1 - 2 mile stroll round the "real" Aberdeen that many tourists miss out on.

Eventually you will return towards McCombie's Court which leads onto Union Street (Aberdeen's main thoroughfare).

The whole walk will take the average walker about 1.5 hours - enjoy!
