Parking

There is limited on-street parking available in Aberdeen, so it is recommended that those travelling by car make use of the dedicated Park & Ride sites which will be set up for the event.

Please do not drive to Torry to see The Tall Ships. This is a residential area and there is not enough parking available. If you are planning on travelling to Torry Battery, please consider walking, cycling, or using the public bus services instead of travelling by car.
