Torry Battery Aberdeen?

I was in Aberdeen a month ago and parked up on the esplanade, we turned right at the roundabout past the shops and parked up by the burger vans and believe it or not two sauna vans? We met up with a couple of friends the day after and was informed if we turned left instead of right it was more suited as you don't get the vehicles heading into the harbour.

Sauna vans ?
My dirty little mind can only assume one thing
 
Torry Battery wouldn’t be my preferred stopover. It has improved with the opening of the dolphin watch centre and cafe but there’s still an element of noisy youths who congregate in the area at night. I’m sure it would be a perfectly safe but possibly disturbed night.
As others have said the beach esplanade is far better but part of it is now closed off to allow work to go on in the area. The further north along the esplanade the better and it is only a few miles from the Battery.
 
Thanks Tonybvi that's what I rather thought might be the case. We were hoping to wake up to dolphins but we might over night elsewhere and have a morning coffee there and observe the pod.
 
Johnshaven Harbour a few miles south of Aberdeen is a pretty decent place. You are on the harbour side and if you want to head from there to Torry Battery it is on the correct side of the River Dee so no real traffic hassles.
 
Thanks but we need to be a bit closer to Aberdeen as I have a meeting with a Scout Group in the suburbs. I have identified a carpark in Bieldside with should suit.

I'm specifically asking about Battery Point please. Not the esplanade or other spots, just the Torry Battery. Thanks.
