Aberdeen is not called the Granite City for no reason - a lot of it's important buildings & houses (old) are built using silver/grey granite.
Peterhead granite has a lovely pink hue to it's colour but sadly most of it has been & still is exported abroad.
Castles are expensive to maintain as you can imagine. The oldest part of Fyvie Castle dates from the 13th century. The metal braces on the tower on the left in the picture are a little scary -- I hope they will be fixing those cracks soon!

Be sure to visit when you have time to roam the grounds and the shore of the loch.
For a good studenty pub, go to The Bobbin on King Street. Comfy sofas, good music and good food and drink!
Don't forget your Yellow Card, if you have one, cos this is an 'It's a Scream' chain pub. This will get you discounts on a lot of stuff. If you're a student but don't have one, you can buy one for £1.
A great little cafe bar, serving Caribbean and African food, which is all yummyyyyyyyyy .....once it turns to night it offers a great mix of ethnic and conventional music, great time guarenteed. Chicken Rumba. Chicken in a mixed pepper sauce with garlic and ginger.
Opened in 1906 to the designs of the eminent Victorian architect Frank Matcham, His Majesty's Theatre was probably the first theatre in the world to be built entirely of granite. Placed at the head of Union Terrace Gardens it enjoys one of the most beautiful urban settings in the country. The auditorium, housing some 1,500 patrons, has been heralded as one of the most beautiful of any major touring theatre in the British Isles. Its fine decoration is enhanced with delicate detail picked out in 23 carat gold and draped with luxurious crimson velvet. Sightlines and acoustics are excellent even to the rear of the stalls and the spacious balcony.
