Welcome

On North Deeside Road at Bieldside, on the leafy western edge of Aberdeen, Murtle Market is a shop and cafe with a purpose.

It is run by Camphill School Aberdeen, a school for children and young people with learning disabilities, as a social enterprise that gives its young people real work and skills.

The shop is bright and simple, all pale wood and soft colours. It sells organic, local and seasonal produce, with refills of dry goods and household essentials to cut down on waste, and arts and crafts made by the young people themselves. A coffee counter serves good coffee, drinks and light lunches to take away or enjoy on the spot.

The Deeside Way runs close by, which makes it a lovely stop on a walk or a bike ride along the old railway line. It opens from Monday to Saturday.
