In this video I explored Aberdeen Beach as well as Pittodrie Stadium, the home of Aberdeen Football Club.
It was an sunny day in November! So unexpected! But Aberdeen FC are a top football team who play in the Scottish Premiership. As well as legendary manager Alex Ferguson, they've had some huge players and managers!
They've won the league in Scotland as well as the UEFA Cup Winners Cup and the UEFA Super Cup!
NEW FIRM DERBY VIDEO: • Aberdeen FC v Dundee U...

I love the respect you give Scottish football and the stadium -its granite, it is called the granite city after all
Ah cool! Yeah makes sense now!
Believe me mate, not all Aberdeen days are as nice as this.
I honestly cant remember it being this nice haha
Why not?
We maybe get a week of sun all year, maybe two weeks if we're lucky
I had a trip there with my Dad when I was little, have a photograph holding the European Cup winners cup with John Hewett and Neil Cooper by my side and Gordon Strachan, Jim Leighton, Alex Mcleish and Willie Miller in the back lineup... Happy day.
Sounds like a class day!
Your videos are a breath of fresh air, easy watch and packed with great information. Not only are you creating more interest for Scottish football clubs it also showing the beauty of Scotland. Would be nice to hit 1million views on your 1 year anniversary of your channel👍
Wow, thank you! Really happy you like them, I've got WAY MORE coming!
Aberdeen's run to the CWC final was pretty impressive in itself in that they beat Bayern Munich too in the Quarters and absolutely thumped Waterschei in the semis at Pittodrie (Gaelic for place of manure btw or Shit heap if you prefer :P). Its worth watching the Quarter Final Pittodrie leg (its on youtube) just for THAT free kick. Amazing how many of that Dons team became successful managers too.
So great to see my city featured. I live on Pittodrie Street so I can hear the roar of the stadium during match day. It’s brilliant !
Thanks for the brilliant video :)
Cool! thanks for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed!
another great video mate top class👌
Just found your channel a week or so ago, and am enjoying having a look through, especially with not actually getting to games at the moment. I will say, Aberdeen for me WAS the coldest I have ever been at a football match. Livingston drew 2-2 with Aberdeen in a league game Think it was March but it felt like the dead of Winter. to make matters worse we had to wait on the bus after the game good job we drew nothing worse that heading home after a defeat.
Nice thanks, glad you're enjoying my Scottish vids. And bloody hell that sounds freezing!
Great video mate, went just recently, such a nice stadium! Peterhead is a great little stadium to visit too! There is a wall you can climb onto for good views onto the pitch. Keep up the good content👍
Cheers mate, I've filmed my Peterhead vid! It's coming soon! :D
Love watching ur vids nit finished the vid yet bust still!😇Keep up the good worl mate!🥳🤩😎
Legend thank you!!!
Great vid again Sam. Stunning views on the beach.
Cheers! Yeah what a day 😎
You’re the best vlogger onScottish football going.recently subscribed..keep up the good work🔥🔥
Much appreciated! Welcome aboard!
Attended a game at Pittodrie way back ln August 1991, with my mate, had a great day and have followed the Dons ever since, & yes they won 3-1 against Dunfermline Athletic. Brings back happy memories seeing your video Sam, great stuff pal.
Facts
Great video there about About Aberdeen and Pittodrie and " 'tanks' for the memory!".
Cheers!
You sir, have just earned a new subscriber 👍 Mon the Dons!
Legend thank you!!!
Well done pal. Lucky boy getting weather like that. Glad you came up tho bud, I appreciate it. 👍
No problem 👍 Thanks for watching
Great vid and lucky you got there we’re getting a new stadium soon
Can't believe that! Really wanna see a game there. When's it due to be built?
@@FootyAdventures i think maybe 2023 or 24 it’s because pitodrie is a run down ground the pitch isn’t big enough and soon it won’t be fit for European standards
@@FootyAdventures what the lad above said, we've got the land already and have built new training facilities there (first for the club, Fergie had the lads that beat Real Madrid and Bayern Munich training on the beach) its out by Kingsford on edge of city can see from the west hill exit of the peripheral route. If ever do a video on the training grounds in Scotland I'll look forward to your coverage of it.
Not even a minute in, but I love how you already showed off the sea. I love the beach here (even though it's way colder than I'm used to oof). Quite fun seeing someone take clips around the city, on such a (rare) nice weather too.
Haha nice, thanks for watching!
Hi mate, loving the vlogs keep up the good work? Can I ask what camera you use to film? Cheers
Thanks mate! Usually a GoPro Hero 7, but for some shots and insta photos Sony a6000
Thak you for coming two Aberdeen.. ..👋
Thanks for watching!
It's a hill o' dung but it's our hill o' dung! Great video mate! Stand free ⭐⭐
Cheers!
brilliant simply brilliant love watching these the granit city my eyes lit up when you was in the club shop i was looking for thebadges lol stay safe sam be lucky steve
Haha cheers again Steve! You'll have to get up to Scotland and add to the pin badge collection!
Awesome video with an awesome stadium!! Can't believe how close to the sea it is!!
Cheers! Yeah it's so close!
Great video pal. STAND FREE!
You can't beat the old footy grounds full of character beats the modern structures of today....Pittodrie on my bucket list.....GREAT vlog 👏👏👏👏
Thanks! Totally agree! I can't wait till I get to see matches at all these places
I would definitely recommend coming back when the fans get in. The merkland stand if you go directly behind that to the end of the road walking down listening to the fans and seeing them all in the rds stand with the flags there's nothing like it. Chills every time
For sure! I can't wait to witness that!
Awesome mate - and the video is pretty good too
Cheers!
You'll have to come back up once in our new home. I'm gutted we're leaving Pittodrie. This great football team has given me a lot of great memories last 29 years. Probably saved my life if truth be known. Such a special club.
European stuff against FC Copenhagen (a 4-0 win) and the Bayern Munich 2-2 Last 32 of UEFA Cup during 2007-08 season then three drawn matches FK Shkendija (0-0), HNK Rijeka (2-2), Kairat Almaty (1-1) in 2015 plus Burnley 1-1 (2018) some of my favourite kind of memory.
So glad you made it to Pittodrie, yes it used to be the manure dump for police horses, and so glad you went onto the Broad Hill, was always told you've not truly been to see a game at Aberdeen as a Don's fan until you've crossed the broad hill to and from a game and walked down the Merkland Road(one with the granite facade).
Good to see your starting to pick up a good following on your videos.
Cheers! Appreciate you watching and commenting!
Another stunning video
Cheers darren!
@@FootyAdventures welcome buddy
I can confirm that it wasn't completely covered when they were claiming 'first all covered' . There was a section opposite the main stand between the Beach End , and whatever the enclosure opposite the main stand is called, that was open to the elements. I know, I sat there once, and froze my cheenies off due to the wind blowing in from the North Sea. Pitoddrie ? Dump!
Enjoyed the video mate, keep them coming......from a 'Gers fan.
Great vid mate 👊
Cheers mate!
Hey mate, a bit of background, the Merkland end is the family stand now, but the turnstiles there let you in to the South Stand as well, and generally speaking most fans would walk down Merkland Road from King St if coming to the game on foot, as they would go to the pub for a few pints first (The Pittodrie Bar) which is on King St. The main entrance is at the Main Stand (sure you know all this by now). The Richard Donald Stand or the 'The Beach End' is the newer stand (still about 30 years old though!!) The Main Stand is the oldest, you can see on the roof of it that its pretty old apart from two sections which has a slightly newer roof, that was due to a fire that broke out one Friday night before a game the following day. My grandfather was on duty that night and helped put the fire out.
Suberb! Walked through those turnstlies many a time at the granite wall behind the Merkland stand into the south stand. Brings a tear tae ma e.
Nice thank you!
Make sure you get back to Aberdeen at some point to view indoors! Ive worked at Pittodrie since i was 16 and its really worth a tour!
Yeah I'd absolutely love to!
Can we appreciate the respect he gives to all the clubs COYR
Cheers mate! I hope I can do credit to all the clubs out there. Aberdeen are huge! Only club in Scotland with 2 UEFA titles!
@@FootyAdventures gotta love the history of the mighty dons
You definitely got lucky with the weather 👍
Nice to see you get here 👍
Yeah it was about time!
Excellent as per m8
Thank you for visiting Aberdeen hope you enjoyed it and I recognise all the places you went to
Nice! Thanks for watching!
@@FootyAdventures no problem :)
Great job again ...
Thank you so much 😀
Another great vid mate. And yes, Pittodrie literally means "place of manure". That much is certainly true, although I hadn't heard the bit about the police horses before.
Thank you!
I remember my first time at Pittodrie was on a Friday night a few years ago as a visiting hibs fan. Was the wettest and windiest game of football I've ever been to, doesn't help that the away section is wide open to the elements. Defo worthy of being the coldest ground In Britain.
Haha I can imagine it being freezing to be fair!
Great vid, thanks!
Cheers jason!
As an exiled Scottish dude living in England since 1985. And despite the fact you have a level of Scottish football knowledge that I can only liken to the late Queen Mother .I`m reasonably enjoying the innocent enthusiasm of your channel . Sadly one thing is missing in detail from your Aberdeen video . That is their volcanic hatred of my club Rangers . I was once told a story that a pub in Aberdeen , they had glass lined urinals featuring Rangers images behind , so the locals could direct their piss to their desired subject . Keep up the good work .
what he lacks in knowledge he makes up for with a humbleness we don't get from the English normally
Mind telling me what pub it is so I can use their lavatories?
@@yerda5876 Go and put some lippy on a sheep and have a traditional Aberdonian romantic night with a lady .
@@gordoncampbell100 I would if I was an Aberdonian, but unfortunately I am not a full blooded Aberdonian and can not enjoy the festivities with the sheep (🐑).
Wow the landscape looks nice
Another great vid mate, as an away supporter I have walked over that hill many times as the away support buses usually park the other side of the hill. Aberdeen's biggest rivals are in fact Rangers due to in infamous tackle by Neill Cooper on Ian Durrant in the mid eighties....... Aberdeen fans still sing "we hate Rangers more than you" when Celtic call there. Keep up the good work.
It was actually Neil Simpson
Ah nice, thanks for that! Sounds like a great day out! Would love an away day there.
Andrew you are correct it all kicked off with Willie Johnson, Aberdeen took their time to get their revenge
Stunning
Yup mate he is - but i was kinda scared to say
@@williamf4544 wait til you see me then
Great video. Stand free!
Thanks for respecting are team we welcome u when ever 🏴❤️🤍🙏
Thank you!
The hill is called Broadhill. Great video.
Nice, thanks!
I like this team and I also liked the beach. thanks for the video hugs from Brazil. 😁🤗✌
the people who work there are amazing and will help you out if you ask !!!! looked after my son for his birthday !!! great day !!!!
The stone wall is granite. And yes not everyday in Scotland like this but beautiful to see my home town.
my team😍 i was a mascot a couple years back and it was the best day of my life!
Brilliant 👏 👏..
I'm one of your viewers who lives in America having emigrated to West Virginia in 2016. I'm from Otley in West Yorkshire and I'm a fan of many years of Leeds Rhinos rugby league team and Guiseley FC who play in Conference North
such a fantastic and very beautiful. i am also living in Aberdeen and make few videos in Aberdeen too. But, my work are for the support of children with special needs. i am your new friend from today.
well done and best wishes from Shining Stars.
It looks a really nice stadium.
First time at pittodrie was midweek league cup i was about 5 or 6 we (hibs) won on penalties sure it was 5-3 Jim Leighton was in goals for us.
Subscribed cmon the reds 🏴
Thank you!
No worries buddy all the best with the channel 🏴🤝
There was a gas cylinder next to Pittordie that my dad's friends used to climb up to watch Games from in the 60's and 70's.
It Is very cold when the weather is bad due to how close it is to the sea.
They got lucky in 1994/95 when they had to beat Dunfermline Athletic In a playoff final to stay up in the
Premiership. There was a challenge on Rangers player Ian Durrant by Neil Simpson that severely damaged Durrant"'s career and that seems to be the biggest reason Aberdeen and Rangers hate each other so much
Yes, my home town. 😆And yes it's "Aberdonian". Plus, the weather not always like that. In fact hardly ever.
Thanks for the video. Aberdeen born in 1961, dragged down to England in 1962 i remember as a kid on holidays home to Aberdeen walking up the broad hill , im positive locals called it misers hill as in those days you could see half of the pitch. Someone please confirm, maybe my Grandfather and Dad made this up🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
born and raised on seaforth road, still stay on the street with my own family now. misers hill is situated between the merkland stand and south stand. broad hill is situated between dick donald stand and south stand, broad hill is a much bigger hill and inbetween the two hills is a large graveyard. you use to be able to see a good bit of pitch from misers hill but flats there now, maybe you use to be able to see more from broad hill but i dont remember the old dick donald stand formerly known as the beach end, born in 86 and i can only remember getting a good view of top section of dick donald stand. when i didnt get to go to a game i would sit in my room looking out window, staring at the red army waiting for their reaction, was good when we scored like but we wer crap alot of my childhood haha much better now though, stand free!
Cheers for the upload footy adventures!
@@crookedwinklepicker5901 Thanks for the information, i guess my memory isnt as good as i thought lol. My grandparents used to live in Tillydrone, near Seaton park. We used to walk down to the beach regularly past Pittodrie
My Dad used to say he went to the same School as Denis Law, i have no proof of this but they are basically the same age, unfortunately my Dad is no longer with us. He and my Mum used to live in Canal st in an old tenement building which is now flats. I remember as a kid playing in the old air raid shelters across the street as a kid. Wow memories.
Thanks again Winkle picker.
By the way your name reminds me of days in Nigg bay..😀
I am from Aberdeen and visit that area very often
Nice, thanks for watching!
Love going to Aberdeen wae killie great city great pubs etc lovely big city cracking video m8
Cheers! Hope I can go to a game there too one day!
Shame yous haven't beat us for 12 seasons
@@jackcousar3568 still a great day out tho can't wait to go the new stadium hopefully start getting results there maybe
Any time I go to a game I always have to walk over that big hill to get to the stadium. Really miss going to games.
The broad hill !!👌
Come to Forres mechanics (Highland league club). Not too far away from Aberdeen and around 10-15 minutes away from Elgin.
Went up to watch Pollok play
Forris Thistle in the Scottish Junior Cup last season lots of lovely scenery up that way.
Fun fact: Aberdeen played in the American United Soccer Association in 1967 under the name of Washington Whips. Played against Los Angeles Wolves (Wolverhampton Wanderers)
Haha really?!
K Park mate, defo one to check out, EK junior team with a Uefa standard pitch, that team had something to do with John Hartson!!!!!
You should come back to pittodrie now as there is a new statue of fergie that was unveiled outside the stadium
Can't wait for St Johnston
Won't be long, I promise!
@@FootyAdventures thx
go to inverurie locos! great highland league team just outside aberdeen!

Yeah definitely! Before the end of the year!
‘Win a few trophies and that’ Sir Alex won THE treble 😉
Haha trust you to pick up on that!
We have a lot of sunshine here in Aberdeen!
Yeah true!
Granite stone...so Aberdonian!
I left the UK in 2016 for America and miss Aberdeen so much!!!
By the way, my mum was an Aberdonian and I spent most of my summer holidays at my granny's at Balnagask.
Nice, thanks for watching Alan!!
Iv been to all those places I go to that beach basically all the time
Nice! Thanks for watching :)

You should've asked for my uncle Allan McKimmie as he has worked there 20+yrs and is always going about.Hes the heritage chairman.Hes shown a few people round the club.COYR ❤❤❤
Do you just do league clubs or do you do non league aswell
My son was watching you filming on the beach (we live in the village by harbour) he was telling me someone famous was on the beach 😂💛
Haha! 😂 I wouldn't go that far, but it's nice he recognised me!
My mate is an engineer on the support vessel the highland that appeared at the start of the video 😂 this must have been filmed on the 6th
Haha aye the 6th sounds about right mate!
@@FootyAdventures love these videos mate, great work!👍🏼
@@scottwhitley3392 cheers more coming soon!
Can you do Inverness Caledonian Thistle’s Stadium?
Yeah, will do before the end of the year!
That’s great. Thank you.
Can't believe you didn't know Aberdeen is known as Granite City , that's the stone you touched and said nice old stone at stadium enterance . It's Granite .
The "Broad Hill" is the name of the hill just next to the stadium.
The dung heap story is true - the name Pittodrie is derived from the gaelic word for "place of dung"
I grew up merkland Road east and used gate 2 as a football goal for a few years my neighbour had to jump the wall when our ball went into the ground
By far the greatest team the world has ever seen SF
Its old Welsh for ''place of manure'', Brythonic was spoken throughout the whole uk before the Saxons came along. In the middle ages Welsh was known as the British language.
1978 all seated? I remember it be standing well after that
I look forward to the Cove one Up the blues
Look at this lovely 'stoned wall'. Eh, that be the Granite Facade?
COYR 🔴⚪
Watch for crossing sheep mate. They love them up there in Aberdeen 😆
Ever thought of doing stand up? You're hilarious.
