Find out how the sea shaped Aberdeen, from clipper ships to North Sea oil, in a museum built around a merchant's house from 1593.

Why it's a good date: The windows look straight onto the working harbour, so you can watch supply boats come and go between exhibits. Walk down to the quay or out to Footdee afterwards.
