Cults
Aberdeen City

A sizeable village of Aberdeen City, situated on the A93 road just to the north of the River Dee, 4 miles (6.5 km) southwest of the city centre. Located on the Culter Burn and once associated with milling, it now forms an affluent commuter settlement for Aberdeen, which merges into Bieldside to the southwest. Cults benefits from a branch library and Cults Academy, which was founded 1967 and has 1150 pupils. Unusually, the school provides Dutch-language education to the children of expatriate oil-workers resident in the area. Also located here are an independent Waldorf School and Cults Parish Church. Cults once had a station on the Deeside Railway, but the line closed in 1966.
