Westhill Area

Westhill is one of Aberdeen’s satellite towns with a population in excess of 10,000 situated approximately 10 kilometres (6 miles) west of the City Centre on the A944. Equidistant to the North, South and Centre of Aberdeen, Westhill provides the optimum location for business and for travelling to and from work. The town is within close proximity to the proposed Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route (AWPR), due to be completed in 2011, which will intersect with the main Westhill to Aberdeen road.

The AWPR is the most important infrastructure project taking place in the north east of Scotland and will have a massive positive impact on the economy and environment. Congestion within the city centre will be significantly reduced and journey times will fall throughout the area. In particular, journey times between Westhill and Aberdeen, the Airport, Altens and the A90 trunk road south will be significantly reduced.
