You could try the strip at Peterculter. Or the guys at Kintore could probably organise you a lift into town.

Dyce is £6.50 taxi fair to the outskirts of aberdeen. I am sure there would be some obliging guys at CHC, Bond, Bristows or Just of the airport.
The thistle hotel is within walking distance from the arrival hall but book early if you fancy staying close by also if that fails try the britainic hotel pricy but good.

Try also speaking to Sid Simpson at HJS they are just outside aberdeen he may be able to help 01224 739111

hope it helps

The Ardoe House Hotel just outside of Aberdeen has a big approved helipad in back, and the hotel is wonderful. We stayed there when we brought the S-92 to Aberdeen last year (tough job, but someone has to do it, boys!)

There is a hotel in Banchory called the Raemoir House Hotel. That is a nice old country house with a helipad on the lawn - Bit of an interesting approach for my tastes but who says helicopter landing areas and tall trees shouldn't go together ??

Banchory is about 20 miles from city centre. Apart from Ardoe House mentioned above and possbly Pittodrie House Hotel (near Inverurie) a similar distance (20 miles) from town, I can't think of anywhere else.
