Cults is a suburb on the western edge of Aberdeen, Scotland. It is known for its historic granite housing, and is a predominantly wealthy area of the city. It sits approximately 10 miles from the coast of the North Sea. The name is a corruption of Coilltean, a Scottish Gaelic word for "Woods".
Cults traditionally maintains a village status, with many of the societial structures found in a country village, despite its proximity to the west of the City of Aberdeen.
Cults lies on the banks of the River Dee and marks the beginning of the area known as Royal Deeside. Originally, Cults had two railway stations on the Royal Deeside Railway Line before it was closed in the middle of the 20th century. The route has since been converted into a cycle path which leads to Duthie Park in Aberdeen in one direction and further into Deeside in the other.
