Delve into Aberdeen's grisly and captivating past with this In-App Audio Tour centered on five centuries of crime and punishment. History buffs and the curious-minded will be transported through time, exploring tales of justice, mystery, and seafaring adventure in Scotland's storied Granite City. The tour sets off from the towering Tolbooth and culminates at an inconspicuous yet significant whipping stone on Market Street. Along the way, discover granite-clad buildings and hidden alleys, each echoing with stories of bygone trials, tribulations, and the city's undying spirit. You'll traverse the celebrated Marischal College, marvel at the resilient Maritime Museum, and stand before the silent whisperer of tales, the stoic Aberdeen Townhouse clock. Immerse in the echoes of public announcements at the Mercat Cross, where once grim sentences were proclaimed, and saunter through the Kirkyard, a serene refuge amid the urban sprawl. The highlight of your journey is the encounter with less-known spots like the whipping stone – a grounded yet potent testament to Aberdeen's historical approach to law and order. Let the city's architectural marvels and the whispers of its history enrich your wanderlust as you stride through the lively streets, forever bound by the timeless ebb and flow of Aberdeen's past and present.
