Getting There By Road
Aberdeen is well connected by a good network of roads. The M90 motorway from Edinburgh in the south turns into the A90 dual carriageway which runs north to south past Aberdeen. The A956 runs off the A90 and takes visitors into the heart of the city. Aberdeen offers easy access to other destinations in Scotland; the A944 runs west towards Alford; the A96 (off which Aberdeen Airport lies) runs northwest up to Elgin and on to Iverness; the A90 continues north up to Peterhead and Fraserburgh.
