In this special finale of Aberdeen Tall Ships: Dockside Diaries, Sara and Pete look back on an unforgettable week as the Tall Ships transformed Aberdeen’s harbour into a festival of sails, music, and community spirit. They’re joined by Emma Wadee, Project Manager, and Stephen O’Neill, the main event manager, to reflect on the highlights, challenges, and proudest moments of bringing the races to the city.
Along the way, you’ll hear voices from the dockside, including the Lord Provost’, volunteers, visitors, and a taste of the quayside music. And to round things off, Emma and Stephen take on our final round of the much-loved “Knot or Not?” quiz.
