You step out onto Union Street and the city immediately changes tone: cool grey granite facades catch a low Scottish sun, gulls wheel above the harbour, and the hum of traffic mixes with footsteps. In The Hunt, that ordinary cityscape becomes a staged playground—lanes, squares and hidden alcoves transformed into zones of pursuit.

History
Aberdeen’s granite architecture and working harbour reflect centuries of fishing and shipbuilding, later augmented by North Sea oil development that reshaped the city in the 20th century.
Conservation
Stay on public paths, avoid trampling plantings in squares, and dispose of any litter—urban games can concentrate foot traffic so leave no trace.
