The city's Follow the road A9 south over two universitiesroundabouts, the University second of Aberdeen, founded in 1495, and the Robert Gordon University, which was awarded university status in 1992, make Aberdeen the educational centre of the north-eastis really big. The traditional industries Just south of fishing, paper-making, shipbuilding, and textiles have been overtaken by the oil industry and Aberdeen's seaportbig roundabout is a petrol station. Aberdeen Heliport From experience thumbing is one of the busiest commercial heliports in the world and the seaport is the largest in the north-east of Scotlandnot very effective, be willing to approach people as they fill up their cars.

After about ten minutes you will reach a lay-by with a fast food trailer. You have the choice of hitching here or a rubbish description, check google mapsbus stop just after the lay by. I personally find the bus stop to be better, youll find it easieris only another 1 or 2 minutes walk further.)From experience thumbing is === A947 North towards Banff === There are no good places to hitch from if you walk all the way to the edge of the Dyce suburb. You are left with rural roads with nowhere safe nor possible for people to stop for a good distance. I would suggest either hitching from within the Dyce suburb or even closer to Aberdeen with a sign for Oldmeldrum. Other options may be either to hitch to Inverurie and then take the backroad to Oldmeldrum (note: i have not very effective, be willing tested this route myself!) or take the bus to approach people as they fill up their carsOldmeldrum and hitch onwards from there.
