The landscape around Aberdeen has been a place of human habitation since the distant Stone Age. Over centuries, this area developed into the significant city we know today, tracing its origins back to two distinct communities. Old Aberdeen emerged as a centre for learning and religious life, situated near where the River Don meets the sea. Nearby, New Aberdeen established itself as a bustling hub for maritime trade and the vital fishing industry, located where the Denburn flows into the Dee estuary.
