Aberdeen
Known as the “Granite City” due to its many buildings constructed from locally quarried granite, Aberdeen is a sparkling city by the sea and is considered an ideal destination for visitors and locals all year round.
Located in the North-east of Scotland, Aberdeen is the go-to spot for exploring open wide spaces, rugged coastlines and historic paths. Whether you enjoy art, theatre, stargazing, music or festivals, Aberdeen has something for everyone.
From spotting the Northern Lights, experiencing Aberdeen Jazz Festival or attending the 2025 Tall Ships Races, there is so much to see and do!
Step back in time and discover the cobbled streets of Old Aberdeen, where you can explore buildings such as St Machar’s Cathedral, King’s College, and the Powis Gatehouse, all which date back centuries and are steeped in historical wonder.
Take a leisurely walk along Aberdeen beach and Queen’s Links, with its golden sands and panoramic views of the North Sea, you might even spot a dolphin!
Also, Aberdeen is the ideal stop to visit Balmoral, the private residence of the British Royal Family, which is open from April until July!
