First-Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium - I've been to Pittodrie twice, but only once to watch a game. It was my 3rd fave experience in Scottish football but only because my fave Scottish team (Celtic) got a narrow and thrilling win. One of my most memorable nights watching Celtic for sure. Then when I was on tour here in 2011, the morning after the night of my concert, I went to relive the memories and walk around the stadium. I noticed that it hasn't changed a bit. It's still huge, it's still intense, but it badly needs a makeover and perhaps to have the corners filled in. Maybe that will happen soon. If it does, this grand old stadium from the 19th century could earn the 5th star that I want to give it. So when I was doing my first tour of Scotland in 2011, I also hit up every single stadium in the country. My obsession with footy (soccer to Americans) is the reason. Every stadium review - like all my reviews - are based on first-hand personal experience, usually from multiple visits. As recently as Fall 2014, when I was "stuck" in UK for 3 months, I went to most of them yet again while travelling. I have pictures of me at many of them, which I will post later. Also, when back in Scotland I plan to take more pix, and add more stadia! So watch this space! *** return to regular review *** The grand home of Aberdeen FC way up by the ocean in NE Scotland, this 1899 stadium holds 21k and is one of the biggest in Scotland with a fierce support. It was the first all-seater stadium in the UK. It's the 3rd largest stadium being used by a top club. It has a cool granite facade. They might move to a new stadium but that would be a tragedy really since this one is so good. It's 15 mins from the city centre on foot and Briony has been there. it's an expensive ticket. It could be better atmosphere-wise if the corners were filled in but it's one of the better stadiums in the country. It's very close to the sea which makes it absolutely freezing.

We needed to rent formal wear for a wedding and the woman that assisted us was very knowledgeable and efficient. As a newbie, I had to rent quite a few things: jacket, sporran, sgian dubh, footwear and a belt. Then I had to purchase a proper shirt and the required kilt socks. Which is good because who wants to rent socks. Despite the fact that McCalls was extremely busy, they assembled the kilts for our group in an hour and sent us on our way. This helped the group out and saved us the trouble of coming back to Aberdeen (a 1 hour drive) to pick up our kilts. All in all, quite happy with the experience and the kilt itself.
