Step off a busy Aberdeen street and into a slice of history where granite walls hold the cool, damp breath of centuries. The King's College tower punctures the skyline with its imperial crown while narrow lanes lead to a cathedral whose heraldic ceiling draws the eye up into carved coats of arms. On this two-hour walking tour you move at the city's old pace—through courtyards, past the Mercat Cross, and into corners most visitors miss.
