Home to a population of 211,250, Aberdeen is a thriving, cosmopolitan port in the North-east of Scotland.Built at the mouth of two major Scottish rivers, the Dee and the Don. The Granite City owes its distinctive appearance to the famous, locally quarried and widely exported, building material. Traditional industries such as fishing and farming still flourish in and around the city but Aberdeen's buoyant modern economy - reflected in unemployment rates consistently under 2% - is fuelled by the oil industry, earning the city a new epithet as 'Oil Capital of Europe'.With bustling shopping malls, a wide variety of entertainment and leisure amenities, and a vibrant arts scene, Aberdeen is a major retail, leisure and cultural centre. First class road, rail, sea and air communications .I live here so I have many fond memories. Mostly I like long slow walks with my dog along the river , down at the beach or through the parks.
