Danestone is a small, village-like area of Aberdeen, Scotland and is actually part of one of Europe's biggest suburbs, Bridge of Don.

Located north-west of Aberdeen City Centre, Danestone is a relatively new area of Aberdeen. The area was once all farmland until about 20 years ago when Danestone Primary School and many detached, semi-detached houses and bungalows were built.

The name Danestone came from the name of the farm, Danestone Farm.
