With over 700 pubs in the city alone there are names ranging from the exotic to the (seemingly) obvious. Here we take a look at ten of the oldest, and the stories behind them.

9. The Diggers
Originally named the Athletic Arms when it opened in 1897, this Victorian pub is now The Diggers thanks to its close proximity to two graveyards. | JPIMedia Photo: TSPL

10. The Doric
Market Street's Doric Bar is named after the ancient dialect common to the Aberdeenshire region of Scotland. There's been a pub on this site since the 17th century. | JPIMedia Photo: TSPL
