The Cromwell Tower Observatory is located off the High

the right of the Chapel into a courtyard.
The entrance to the Cromwell Tower is located at the
back left of the courtyard. The Observatory is at the top of the tower and the
meeting room (KCT2) is directly beneath. Parking on the High Street is limited. The
nearest parking is on Regent Walk, but alternative parking is available near the Fraser Noble and Meston Buildings off
Bedford Road or the Arts Lecture Theatre off King Street.

| Heading South from Aberdeen, go past Portlethen and take the
left off the A90 signed Newtonhill. Go straight ahead at the
roundabout, down Newtonhill Road with a football pitch and play
park on the right. At the foot of the road turn right at the
"Bettridge Centre" Sign. Follow the road for 100
metres and the Bettridge Centre is the large building nearest
the sea/Coastal Park. Ample parking is available.
A map showing the location of Bettridge Centre/Newtonhill can be found by clicking
here.
We'll be in the upstairs meeting room if it's cloudy,
outside around the back if it's clear. Bring your telescopes if
you have them, but don't worry if you don't as there will be a
few on hand.
