Prince of Wales
A great range of real ales and a cosy atmosphere. Located just off an ally before the St Nicholas centre and serves good sunday lunches.

Historic Buildings
The Aberdeen Tolbooth
Serving as Aberdeen's gaol since 1393 the only remaining section of the Tolbooth, the Wardhouse, which was built between 1616 and 1629 is now open as a museum. Containing displays of crime and punishment, the original doors and chains used to imprison criminals and a number of reported ghostly experiences, the Tolbooth is a must see in Aberdeen.
Marischal College
The second biggest granite building in the world, Marischal College is hard to miss. Founded in 1593 as an alternative to the University of Aberdeen this impressive building has been an important landmark of this city, as well as playing its share in the mysterious body snatching scandals of the 1800's.
Provost Skenes House
One of the oldest houses of Aberdeen this building was preserved after narrowly escaping demolition in 1951. Inhabited for over 400 years it has had its fair share of famous residents including the Bloody Butcher of Cumberland and of course a number of chilling ghost stories. Open to the public all year as a museum it also has a lovely little cafe in the cellar.
