Map of the UK

The Bridge of Don ward sits in the north of Aberdeen, hugging the north bank of the River Don as it reaches the North Sea. It covers suburban neighbourhoods and stretches towards the coast, with the river mouth and surrounding dunes and estuarine habitats offering popular green space for walks and birdwatching.

Locally the ward mixes family housing, schools and community facilities and benefits from proximity to employment hubs such as Dyce and Aberdeen Airport, as well as the city’s energy and service sectors. The area grew around the river crossing and twentieth-century housing expansion, giving it a blend of older village character and post-war suburban development with an active local community life.
