Torry

Torry is a district located in the eastern part of Aberdeen, Scotland. It is situated on the north side of the River Dee, near its mouth. Historically, Torry was a separate burgh and a significant fishing and shipbuilding center before being amalgamated with Aberdeen in 1907. The area retains a distinct identity and a strong connection to its maritime heritage.

The economy of Torry has traditionally been heavily influenced by the North Sea oil industry. Many offshore service companies and associated businesses have a presence in the district. The former fishing infrastructure, including the fish market, has undergone regeneration, with new developments contributing to the area's economic diversification.

Key landmarks in Torry include the Torry Battery, a historic coastal fortification offering views across the Dee estuary and out to the North Sea. The area also features residential housing, local shops, and community facilities. Transport links connect Torry to the wider Aberdeen area, with bus services being the primary mode of public transport. The ongoing regeneration efforts aim to enhance the living environment and economic opportunities within the district.
