TORRY BATTERY

(4.9 Score)
Greyhope Road, Aberdeen AB11 8QX, UK Directions

Since 1859

Speciality:

✓ Historical Place ✓ Defensible Barracks ✓ Smooth Bore Guns ✓ Constructed for Nine Guns and Artillery Battery

“Torry Battery was originally constructed for nine guns, with a defensible barracks at the rear. The battery mounted three 10-inch smoothbore guns and five 68-pounder smoothbore guns. Construction began on Torry Point Battery in 1857 and concluded in 1861. Some sources indicate that it was built to protect against France during the reign of Napoleon III. The battery was later adapted for two 6-inch breech-loading (BL) guns, which were mounted by 1906. These were used for practice by the local artillery volunteer unit, the 1st Aberdeenshire Royal Garrison Artillery. Both guns were operational during the First World War. During the First and Second World Wars, it was used to defend the city and was finally decommissioned in 1956.”

ABERDEEN MARITIME MUSEUM REVIEWS

Great place for people who are interested in the history of maritime in Aberdeen. There are a fair display of ships and their history. It is really interesting to see the evolution of ships from the past to present. The key highlight for me was the dimensions of the oil rig. I was always curious how big it was, and am extremely amazed at how gigantic it was! Best part of it all, the entrance is free! So do not hesitate to come down to quench your curiosity about Maritime in Aberdeen.

It was a great fun, lots of models. Exhibitions are very interesting with detailed descriptions. Entry is free you can donate as much as you like or buy something in gift shop to support museum. Would recommend to stop and have a look. It gives lots of background of Aberdeen.

Lovely museum, not very big but has a lot to show. There are areas where visitors can watch different educational videos. The museum is free, but they are open for money donations. I would say we spent there at most an hour.

TORRY BATTERY REVIEWS

Nice place to watch the boats come in and out of the harbour. If you are lucky you may see the dolphins hanging around the harbour entrance. We visited and we watched the dolphins for nearly two hours. Another day we may not be so lucky. There are toilets here on the top car park outside the battery gate. I must warn you though as they are composting toilets they are a bit grim and smelly. We chose to pass on using them.

Great walking area! We started here and walked the circular route right round the South harbour. Didn't spot any dolphins but enjoyed the scenery even though the weather was wild and it was bitter cold! Really enjoyed seeing where the big guns would have been, lovely views and lots of people milling around so it's clearly a popular place to come. Wee cafe here too and toilets in the carpark.

This place talks about the history of the early settlement there. You could visualize every thing on how they dwelled there. Must see place. Tickets could be bought at the gate for same price.

CENTRAL LIBRARY REVIEWS

The Central Library is a fantastic resource, free access to massive amounts of local information is a most for locals and visitors. The vast range of publications that can be accessed electronically and physically (paper copies) is amazing - trade and technical journals as well as general. The Business Information service contains detailed information that makes it the first place to go for market research. Trade Directories and business reports are freely available. Company and Institutional reports are in the shelf. This is the place to go.

The central has old and modern books. The Internet speed is second to known. You can browse for free and borrow books if you have a library card. I notice that the heatings are always off, making the library very cold. I spent 8 hours inside and was impacted by the lack of heating. I understand the current energy situation; however, a warm library equals a warm welcome. A wonderful place.

Amazing place. The library has a great collection of books, even if you don't find what you need the staff is more than willing to help. The staff are amazing, friendly, knowledgeable and super helpful. The ambiance is great too. 15 / 10 I recommend visiting.
