I have heard there is an interesting history provided inside, so if you can, go when it's open and learn something about the area's history.

A small parking lot in front of the building was a stone off-white colour, which paired well with the grey of the stones composing the building. An informational bulletin/board out in front of one of the entrances provided the time of the weekly Sunday service as well as what one might call a mission statement, contact information, and flyers for upcoming events.

I was exploring Old Aberdeen on foot and after finding St Machars Hall (which I dubbed St Machars Tomb), I decided to see if I could find the corresponding cathedral. After taking the wrong street and not finding the cathedral I opted to check out a cemetery along the road. While exploring the cemetery, I noticed a larger building resembling a cathedral. Reading the headstones, I made my way along the side of the larger building to its front. A few cars were parked out front. Turns out it was St. Machars Cathedral, which I had given up on trying to find... Learned that exploring a cemetery could (and did) lead to me finding something else I was looking for. The graves in the cemetery were well laid out and headstones easy to read. Vegetation was well curated.
