Luggage storage at Aberdeen's transport hubs

If you have a few hours to fill in Aberdeen between a holiday rental check-out and a train or flight, you may be looking for somewhere to leave a bag.

The city's theatres, music venues, and even its science centre tend to have some provision for coats and bags, while one major outdoor event bars anything larger than A3 outright. Local buses carry luggage only at the driver's discretion, and there is a bus link to the airport, so a little planning is all it takes to keep your bags from dictating your afternoon. The official left-luggage desk at Aberdeen Airport is open daily from 04:00 to 22:00. If you arrive at Aberdeen Station with your bags, you won't find any official lockers or left-luggage facilities there. Union Square Aberdeen is directly adjacent to the railway station and bus station, so it can be a convenient drop-off point for travellers using those hubs. You can leave luggage at the ferry terminal from 08:00 on your sailing day, as long as you are booked on that day's departure. With Stasher, you can store bags from £1.49 per bag per day.

Getting around Aberdeen with bags

First Bus lets you bring bags on board free of charge, though the driver can refuse anything too large, too numerous, or otherwise awkward for safety and comfort. On coach services, larger suitcases go in rear or underfloor lockers when space allows, and they must be clearly labelled. For the airport run, a one-way 727 bus between Union Square Aberdeen and Aberdeen Airport costs £5.80 on a Stagecoach Dayrider ticket.

Bag rules at Aberdeen venues

Tall Ships Aberdeen restricts bag sizes: anything larger than A3 (40 cm × 32 cm) is barred, and there's no bag drop to fall back on. His Majesty's Theatre, The Lemon Tree, and The Music Hall all provide designated areas or cloakrooms for coats and bags, though you leave items at your own risk.

His Majesty's Theatre keeps those areas in the old foyer and the stalls, while The Music Hall uses a cloakroom for standing gigs and a coat rail beside the ground-floor toilets for other shows. At Aberdeen Arts Centre, buggies and car seats can't enter the auditorium but may stay in the foyer.

Aberdeen's identity and practical context

Aberdeen is known as the Oil Capital of Europe, a centre for North Sea oil and gas, but it's also a university town — the University of Aberdeen was founded in 1495. Union Square Aberdeen, that same hub beside the station, is a major shopping and leisure destination, with more than 50 retail brands, over 30 restaurants, and a 2,400-seat cinema, so it's handy if you're filling time around a train. Aberdeen Science Centre offers a bag-friendly feature: heated lockers inside for visitors' kit.
