Sell My Bike In Aberdeen
The iconic granite city of Aberdeen is a very underrated and beautiful place. Many people know Aberdeen to be the ‘Grey City’, and they believe that this is down to the weather. However, it’s not! This city is statistically one of the sunniest places in the UK during the summertime, making it the perfect destination for motorcycling!
The population of Aberdeen was recorded at 261,000 back in 2019. We don’t know how many bikers there are here, but we can tell you that We Buy Any Bike collect many bikes from Aberdeen on a weekly basis! This tells us that it’s a very active community for motorcyclists.
Motorcycle-Friendly Accommodation in Aberdeen
I don’t usually include bothies in Aberdeen, but this one sprung to mind whilst researching this, so I’m putting it first! If you fancy off-roading during your trip to Aberdeen, head north on the Old Military Road heading towards Greenadams. If you take a left just before the Spiral Burn river, the road will take you to the little ‘Charr Bothy’. This was once home to John Whitley and is now run by the Mountain Bothies Association.

Luckily, Scotland as a country welcomes wild camping, so you can pretty much pitch up anywhere you like in Aberdeen. However, if you prefer the amenities that come with campsites, give these ones a mull over!
