Overview of Aberdeen

The city of Aberdeen is located north-east of Manchester Airport, approximately 362 miles away, with an estimated journey time of around 6.5 hours by taxi, travelling via the M6, M74, M8, and M90. Aberdeen is a historic city in north-east Scotland, originally formed from two separate burghs—Old Aberdeen and New Aberdeen—situated on the rivers Don and Dee. Over time, these merged into the modern city known today. Because much of the city was built using locally quarried grey granite, Aberdeen is often referred to as “The Granite City” or “The Silver City.” The city lies close to the North Sea coastline, featuring long sandy beaches and rugged cliffs, while the surrounding landscape includes misty moors, tranquil lochs, and the mountainous regions of the Cairngorms National Park. Historically, Aberdeen developed as a coastal and industrial city with strong links to seafaring, shipbuilding, paper making, and whisky production. In more recent decades, the discovery of North Sea oil led to significant economic growth, earning Aberdeen the title “Oil Capital of Europe.” Aberdeen is renowned for its distinctive granite architecture, with notable landmarks such as Marischal College and the Town House on Union Street. Granite from Rubislaw Quarry was also used in the construction of major London landmarks, including the Houses of Parliament and Waterloo Bridge. The city is home to St Machar’s Cathedral and two major universities—the University of Aberdeen and Robert Gordon University. According to the 2010 census, Aberdeen has a population of approximately 217,100 residents, making it Scotland’s third most populous city. Aberdeen was granted Royal Burgh status by King David I in the 12th century. Culturally, the city hosts the Aberdeen International Youth Festival, a major international event attracting thousands of visitors. Other attractions include the Aberdeen Art Gallery, featuring works by Monet, Pissarro, and Renoir; His Majesty’s Theatre; and The Music Hall. Beyond the city centre, visitors can enjoy the countryside of Royal Deeside, while within the city there are many green spaces, including Duthie Park, known for its winter gardens and tropical houses, and Wylie Park, located north of the city and offering wildlife exhibits and recreational activities for all ages. The region celebrates the Doric dialect, a form of Lowland Scots, which is highlighted annually at the Doric Festival. Visitors are also encouraged to try traditional Scottish cuisine, including mealie puddings, haggis, Lorne square sausages, rowies, and Scotch broth.
