Celebrate the return of the VSA Heritage Walking Tour with a guided tour of some of the famous milestone moments in the charity's history.
About this Event

Join VSA for the second event in our Mercat Moments series, our brand new series of community events designed to bring people together through stories, creativity and conversation.

This exciting second installment sees the relaunch of the VSA Heritage Walking Tour. Step into history as we explore some of the milestone moments in VSA's rich heritage with a short guided walking tour.

The walk will bring to life the people, places and moments that have shaped the VSA community. Whether you are a history enthusiast, a curious wanderer, or simply looking for something different to do, this event offers a chance to slow down, look closer, and experience Aberdeen from a new perspective.

Please note that the tour is undertaken on foot and will last approximately 45 minutes to one hour.

The meeting point for the start of the tour is at the illuminated Aberdeen letters sign in Union Terrace Gardens and will finish at the VSA Mercat Bookshop.

All those participating in the walk will also have the opportunity to partake in a special deal from Common Sense Cafe, who have very kindly put on a special offer of coffee and a home baked rowie for £5 both for takeaway and/or sitting-in and out on the terrace area.
