Aberdeen, Scotlands third largest city, is situated on the NE coast of Scotland, where the two great salmon rivers the Dee and the Don flow into the sea. It is an ancient city whose recorded history dates back to the 1100s. Aberdeen is also a wealthy city due to the affluence brought by the North Sea oil industry. These factors combine to ensure that visitors have plenty to see and do in the granite city.

The city is built on granite, almost entirely from granite and this gives the buildings an almost sparkling, if monotone, hue. One of the universitys colleges, Marischal, was rebuilt in the mid-19th century and is said to be one of the finest granite buildings in the world. Both St. Nicholas Church and St. Machars cathedral are worth a visit too.

Hazlehead Park has some pretty ornamental gardens and the land around the two rivers is very attractive. The beach boasts some of the finest sands in Britain but the water is far too cold for most peoples tastes. Towards the harbour end of the beach is the bonny fishing hamlet of Fittie (which is a corruption of Foot Dee) and occasionally historic guided tours are run, illustrating the lives of previous Fittie fishermen.

The presence of a university and through traffic of oil workers means that there are plenty of pubs, restaurants, hotels and bars to choose from.
