King Street, Aberdeen

King Street, Aberdeen

King Street is one of the main streets in the city of Aberdeen, Scotland.

Its southern end is in the city centre and is also near the prestigious shopping street, Union Street. Heading northwards, the street skirts Old Aberdeen and the University of Aberdeen, eventually reaching a modern bridge over the River Don, which took over form the ancient Brig o' Balgownie, a short distance to the west.

The headquarters of FirstGroup is approximately half-way along the street, and a short way to the east is Pittodrie Stadium, home of Aberdeen F.C.

The street also contains the Aberdeen Arts Centre, on its junction with West North Street.
