Open to all 12-2, but if you want to come along and help out for some free hospitality and be willing to meet some approach people, we set up from 10am and will be clearing as they fill up until about 3:30 ish.===Ki:lau======Blue Lamp=====Cultural=====Provost Skene's House===An old historical building tucked away in the middle of the city, previously residence to Lord Provost George Skene (the namesake) and Matthew Lumsden, a wealthy merchant and covenanter in the 17th Centurytheir cars.==Clubbing and lively nights out=====Liquid======Priory======Tiger Tiger======Moorings Bar===
=Accommodation and Sleep=
There are always ample Couchsurfers in Aberdeen, we also have an SOS Couchsurf Group if you get stuck.
There are no hostels in Aberdeen and hotels tend to be expensive, however if you do wish to stay in a hotel, the Railway Hotel and the Jury's Inn are popular hotels immediately outside the train station.
=== A96 North-West towards [[Inverness]], [[Elgin]] or [[Inverurie]]===
<noinclude>Either take a bus or walk out from the city centre towards the Bucksburn suburb, following the A96 urban dual-carridgeway from the Huidagian Roundabout (from the Huidagian to the Bucksburn roundabout is roughly a 25 min walk). After a while there is a large roundabout with a 'Lidl' supermarket and a MacDonalds above it. Take the road just before the roundabout to the right, called 'Inverurie Road', it rejoins the A96 after a short time. [Better to just keep walking along the main A96, ie go LEFT at this roundabout]. After about ten minutes you will reach a lay-by with a fast food trailer. You have the choice of hitching here or a bus stop just after the lay by. I personally find the bus stop to be better, it is only another 1 or 2 minutes walk further. === 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 tested this route myself!) or take the bus to Oldmeldrum and hitch onwards from there.  Once on the A947 at Oldmeldrum it is quite easy to hitch from town to town. == Trashwiki & Nomadwiki == [[nomad:Aberdeen]] [[trash:Aberdeen]] [[Category:TemplatesScotland]]</noinclude>
