Fittie...Footdee

Footdee is an old fishing village at the east end of the Aberdeen harbour. Footdee is lovingly known as "Fittie" by the locals, (we grew up with it always called Fittie). This quaint village is full of small charming and well preserved granite cottages and townhouses, some even have colourful themes and collections of eccentric quirky objects. 

This charming and unique 19th century former fishing village community takes you back in time, it is like walking through the bygone days.

A dinky square full of tiny cottages all facing inward as shelter from the sea, this is one of the must places to visit whilst in Aberdeen.

How uncanny are these two photos taken almost 10 years apart!!, it wasn't until I started looking through the old pics that I noticed this one!

It is surprisingly quiet and sheltered despite the fact that it backs on to the often wild North sea.

Can you imagine how magical Fittie looks in the snow?

Scott's dad George grew up in Fittie. It is a place we have been to several times when we lived in Aberdeen. The last time we were at Fittie was back in 2008, just before we left to move to Australia. We went with George and Margaret for a stroll around to let the kids see where their granda grew up.

It was a great memory making moment to walk the kids through the same paths they walked almost 10 years ago with their granda.
