The Aberdeen Suburban Tramways operated two separate tramway services in Aberdeen, which were essentially extensions from the terminus of Aberdeen Corporation Tramways routes.
The first was from the Great Western Road terminus to Bieldside church. The second was from the Great Northern Road terminus to Stoneywood church.
Depots were at the junction of Fountainhall Road and Queen's Lane North (grid reference NJ 92362 05887), and on St Peter Street (grid reference NJ 94230 07418).
Closureedit
The services stopped running on 2 June 1927, a year after the corporation had terminated the through running arrangements.
Remaining infrastructureedit
Part of the tracks still remain behind the takeaway at the bottom of Bankhead Avenue. And on the Bankhead Church opposite, is a tram rosette, used to hold up overhead in places where there were not poles. This tram rosette is in fact the most northerly in the United Kingdom.
