Footdee Aberdeen ScotlanddMore information:
The small fishing village of Footdee can be found at the mouth of Aberdeen harbour and can be accessed via the Beach Esplanade of Aberdeen City, Scotland.The village of Footdee comprises of two areas of fishing cottages built in two squares. In olden days the cottages would have housed fishermen and their fisherfolk families.Though some fish families still live in the cottages, the area is no longer predominately lived in by fisherfolk so is not as active with fishing, fish wives sitting outside repairing nets whilst having a good gossip or full of nets drying and untangling on the green. What does remain though are some picturesque fishing cottages and some well maintained gardens set away from the hustle and bustle of Aberdeen City, but yet only a few minutes drive or even walk from the still busy Aberdeen harbour.
