Good afternoon all,
I am staying in an Aberdeen hotel for 6 weeks in April/May for work and looking for advice, what are your recommendations of must do things in and around the City. Not this site related  but touristy, food places to visit, experiences to do etc.... I want to get the most out of my time there whilst not working, especially weekends.
Be a virtual / actual tour guide if wanting to show me the sites.
TIA |

"... as you can see, it's all happening here in Aberdeen "
Tbf it might have been missed haha as an active section of the forums, anything you recommend doing? Live music pubs, best pubs/restaurants, best activities/things you need to do/see etc.... |

Plenty of places to eat and go for a drink especially if on expenses. You can go dolphin spotting at the torry batterie and if you’re game enough to endure 90 minutes of suffering take in a game at pittodrie |

"Ahhhhh cheers for the suggestions, ill have to get something pencilled in for most weekends haha, is there any country bars/ decent live music places up there? "
Malones on Shiprow have live music most nights. Drummonds on Belmont Street tends to have live music but need to check adverts for style of music you might enjoy 🤷♀️
I also second going to Greyhope Bay to go dolphin spotting as it is mating season they might be even closer to shore! 😊 Also Crathes Castle is beautiful and has some great forest trails! 👌 |

"Are there any notable årt galleries in Aberdeen?"
There is an art gallery in town that was refurbished a few years ago but couldn’t tell you what is on display as been years since I’ve been in. A quick google should be able to give you upto date information |
