About this spot
Aberdeen, Scotland's vibrant third largest city, blends historic charm with youthful university spirit and a modern buzz. This "Granite City," named for its impressive grey buildings, boasts a rich history spanning centuries.
It's not too big to feel overwhelming, nor too small to lack excitement. It's not overly modernised to lose its character, yet it embraces an invigorating green and eco-conscious scene embraced by young students and artists. And, what a relief, it's not overrun by tourists!
