Aberdeen

Discover Aberdeen

Known as the powerhouse of the north east, Aberdeen is often overlooked when it comes to its city break appeal. But beyond its grey façade you’ll discover a vibrant city life, bursting with cultural gems and glittering architecture — all wrapped up in spectacular Scottish countryside.

A city of silvery grey granite, which can appear as dull as the lifeless sky in winter and as dazzling as the sunshine on a summers day – Aberdeen does lack the charm of Edinburgh and the vibrancy of Glasgow. But amongst the granite cityscape you’ll discover greenery in the form of parks and gardens, and beyond that in the form of the beautiful Aberdeenshire countryside. With its royal connections and close proximity to Scotland’s famous whisky country, you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to sightseeing. And delighted by the nature and wildlife, which can be found a stone’s throw away — as unspoilt beaches and the fantastic Cairngorms National Park provide plenty of opportunity to connect with the natural beauty of Scotland.
