Day 10 of the Kingβs Baton Relay took us across Aberdeen and beyond! ππ»
β‘οΈ Our first stop was to Catapult and ETZ, where we celebrated the future of offshore renewable energy, including the worldβs largest grid-connected floating offshore wind farm.
π¬ Next, the Baton made its way through the Port of Aberdeen, travelling between the North and South Harbours with some incredible views along the way, including a few dolphin sightings!
π«ΆπΌ We then visited the amazing students at Beannachar Camphill Community, supported through the Vattenfall Unlock Our Future Fund.
πΈ The day finished at Scottish Water in Stonehaven, where the Baton was welcomed by the local community.
There are plenty more exciting moments still to come, so stay tuned! π
