Marketing Intelligence: Built for Local Businesses in Waterside
In Aberdeenshire's corner of the Scotland region, Waterside covers postcode district AB42 and borders Green Hill, Roanheads and Clola. Fraserburgh's harbour, founded in 1546, grew into one of the UK's busiest fishing ports, and its Kinnaird Head Lighthouse, built in 1787, was Scotland's first mainland lighthouse and now houses the Museum of Scottish Lighthouses.
Aberdeen Inspired, the city centre's Business Improvement District, had its 2026-2031 term approved by ballot and covers the area from Holburn Junction to Castlegate, funding shared projects through a levy on business rates. The ONS's March 2026 IDBR snapshot recorded 12,475 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area.
Population density in Aberdeenshire was 42 people per square km in 2024 (ONS). That's a real, measurable sense of how many potential customers are nearby - exactly what marketing intelligence is built to reach.
