Danestone is a small, village-like area of Aberdeen, Scotland and is actually part of one of Europe's biggest suburbs, Bridge of Don.

Located north-west of Aberdeen City Centre, Danestone is a relatively new area of Aberdeen. The area was once all farmland until about 20 years ago when Danestone Primary School and lots of detached, semi-detached houses and bungalows were built.

The name Danestone came from the name of the farm, Danestone Farm.

Shopping and attractions

There are not many shops in Danestone apart from a Tesco Extra store and few little shops like a DVD rental shop, a travel agent and a laundrette, so most people go into town for their shopping.

There are a few attractions in Danestone like Danestone Park, a Bannatynes health club and a forest along the River Don where people like to have a peaceful walk.

Just up the road, there is the Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre, where exhibition like Disney on Ice take place.

There is also a B&B on Fairview Circle where you can stay the night.
