Why choose Aberdeen for your road trip

Aberdeen — a city worth exploring

Aberdeen's granite architecture gives the city its famous nickname, the Silver City, with over 1,800 listed buildings catching the light across its skyline. Situated on Scotland's north-east coast where the rivers Dee and Don meet the North Sea, Aberdeen offers a compelling mix of maritime heritage, green spaces and cultural attractions. Marischal College, one of the largest granite buildings in the world, anchors the city centre, while the Aberdeen Maritime Museum on Shiprow tells the story of the city's deep connection to the sea, from clipper ships to the North Sea oil industry. A short walk away, Provost Skene's House dates back to 1545 and showcases centuries of local life. For open-air exploration, Duthie Park spans 44 acres and is home to the David Welch Winter Gardens, one of Europe's largest indoor gardens. Dundee sits 107 km to the south, and the gateway to Royal Deeside and Balmoral Castle is just 65 km west along the A93. The surrounding Aberdeenshire countryside features well-maintained A-roads ideal for larger vehicles, making it easy to head out towards the coast or into the Cairngorms. With Yescapa, you can hire a campervan or motorhome directly from local owners in Aberdeen, giving you the flexibility to plan your own route through this rewarding corner of Scotland at your own pace.

Best time to visit

Aberdeen comes alive in summer, when the long daylight hours make it easy to explore the coastline and countryside by campervan. The city hosts the Aberdeen International Youth Festival each August, bringing performances and events across multiple venues. In September, the Braemar Gathering — one of Scotland's most famous Highland Games — takes place just an hour's drive west. Spring and early autumn are excellent for quieter roads and more availability at campsites across Aberdeenshire. Through Yescapa, you can often find better hire rates outside peak season, thanks to flexible pricing set by local motorhome owners.

William
5 / 5

First time hiring through Yescampa and Victor made it super easy. We navigated the language barrier with Google translate and he was very helpful explaining how to use all features of the vehicle. For a family of four exploring andulicua this was ideal.

Attila
5 / 5

The trip was amazing. Francesca, the owner, helped us a lot and was always available. The van was really good, with big space inside. Highly recommended.

Andrea
5 / 5

Dominique is a wonderful, kind and attentive host. The van was perfect, clean and cosy. We loved the trip even though the high altitude passes were very scary especially as we are driving on the wrong side of the road!

Martin
5 / 5

Andre couldn’t have been more helpful, plus he is a positive, warm individual. The camper was superb in every way, hygienic, beautiful handling and equipped with everything needed, no silly extras for bedding. Brand new mattresses that were so comfortable and all the windows had bug netting so nothing could get in or bite us. Will definitely do this again, PLUS great value. Very very happy with service and equipment
