Altens is a district in Aberdeen, on the north-east coast of Scotland.[1][2]
Altens is home to a large industrial estate, alongside a similar estate in neighbouring Tullos. The industrial estates have offices. These included, until 2024 a large facility built for Royal Dutch Shell,[3] as well as industrial units of various sizes, including the Royal Mail's main mail centre for the North East of Scotland. There are also warehouses, car dealerships, and a civic amenity site.
The area is also home to one of three North East Scotland College campuses in Aberdeen City.
