Aberdeen (Scottish Gaelic: Obar Dheathain) known as the 'Granite City' due to the stunning silver buildings is also known as the Oil Capital of Europe, but Aberdeen is so much more than Oil, you will find beautiful green areas (Britain in Bloom winner a record breaking 10 times) and hidden away you'll find some of the best food, cocktail bars and craft beer Scotland has to offer. There is also a growing cultural scene in the city showcasing visual art, music, dance, theatre and so much more... Just a few miles out of the city, Aberdeenshire (Scottish Gaelic: Siorrachd Obar Dheathain) offers stunning views, fresh open air and beautiful towns and villages.
