Aberdeen Skyline Art Print: A Skyline For All Seasons
Welcome to my blog where I'll be sharing my journey of drawing 100 skylines, starting with the Aberdeen Skyline Art Print of the beautiful city of Aberdeen in Aberdeenshire. As someone who has a deep love for Scotland, I've always been drawn to the endless beaches, historic buildings, panoramic views, and of course, the fresh air.
My connection to Aberdeen goes back to my childhood when my father used to fly jets from Lossimouth and likely passed over the city countless times. Aberdeen's unique setting by the sea and its grandiose buildings make it a perfect starting point for my skyline journey.
As you explore Aberdeen, you'll discover its rich history dating back more than 10 centuries. From tales of kings and queens to rebels and loyalists, fisher folk, and shipping magnates, the city has something to offer for everyone. And the cityscape, shaped by both the sea and the wind, is simply magical.
As an artist, I've captured the most iconic elements of Aberdeen's skyline and turned them into a beautiful keepsake for anyone who has visited or lives in the city. From its historic landmarks to its modern architecture, my Aberdeen Skyline Art Print is a celebration of this coastal gem.
So, without further ado, I invite you to join me on a journey through my interpretation of Aberdeen's impressive skyline. Whether you're a local or a visitor, I'm sure you'll find something special in this artwork. Thank you for joining me on this exciting adventure!
My artwork features an interpretive illustration of Aberdeen, with the contemporary skyline, modern architecture and stunning landscapes on display. Included within the Aberdeen Skyline:
His Majesty's Theatre - The stunning architecture of Aberdeen’s theatre is a true symbol of the city.
Girdle Ness Lighthouse - Dedicated to maritime safety, Girdle Ness Lighthouse is a true landmark in Aberdeen. Stay a while and enjoy the harbour views.
Duthie Park Bandstand - The previously gorse-covered hill of Duthie Park has become an important fixture for Aberdeen residents and tourists who frequent the area. The fully restored bandstand overlooks one of the most beautiful natural views in Scotland.
King's College Chapel - The architecture is a fusion of modern and old, like all architecture in Aberdeen. If you get to visit the atmosphere will fill you with a sense of awe.
The Brig O Balgowie - The Brig o' Balgownie spans the River Don, connecting Old Aberdeen to New Aberdeen. This arch bridge is one of the oldest in Scotland.
Marischal College - The Marischal College is an iconic building of Aberdeen city. It is one of the biggest granite buildings in Aberdeen.
Footdee fishing cottages - Footdee was once a popular fishing village in Aberdeen.
Grampian Eye Big Wheel - The Grampian Eye Big Wheel is the perfect way to experience Aberdeen’s jaw-dropping skyline.
The beach - Aberdeen’s two miles of sandy beach is a sight to behold. Beaches rivaled only by those in Southern California or Hawaii!
Dunnottar castle - A stunning ruined medieval fortress located upon a rocky headland on the northeastern coast of Scotland.
The Aberdeen highland landscape - whilst Aberdeenshires beating heart is the thriving city of Aberdeen I've included some of the breathtaking scenery.
There's also the Statue of William Wallace, Highland cows and a dolphin statue.
From decorative prints to fantastically framed prints, every artwork is printed professionally on museum quality paper, and will be delivered to your door. My art comes in 11 sizes with framing options too. You can even have it personalized.
Let the Aberdeen Skyline inspire you to pick up a pen and get writing. Some new stationery is arriving soon that I am really excited about, see below for a preview.
"Lord Aberdeen was quite touched when I told him I was so attached to the dear, dear Highlands and missed the fine hills so much. There is a great peculiarity about the Highlands and Highlanders; and they are such a chivalrous, fine, active people."
