About Aberdeen Scotland Aberdeen, often called The Granite City, is Scotland's third largest city and is the chief commercial centre and seaport in the north-east of Scotland. Aberdeen with a population of 215,000 is also referred to as the Oil Capital of Europe because it has become a major service base for the extraction of crude oil in the North Sea. Aberdeen City mostly stands between the mouths of the rivers Don and Dee. A prosperous cosmopolitan city, with a historical old town, Aberdeen has one of Scotland’s most striking skylines. The granite buildings such as Marishal College, His Majesty’s Theatre and St. Machar’s Cathedral give Aberdeen its distinctive look. The climate in Aberdeen is brisk with a mean temperature of 8 °C, meaning cold winters, cool summers and 816 mm of rainfall annually. Aberdeen Harbour is the principal commercial port in northern Scotland and an international port for general cargo, roll-on/roll-off ferries and container traffic. Aberdeen is one of the most prosperous cities in Scotland due to exports of local granite, a long history with fishing fleets, and the recent oil boom. With the discovery of significant oil deposits in the North Sea, Aberdeen has become the centre of Europe's petroleum industry, with the port serving offshore oil rigs. The University of Aberdeen is Scotland's third oldest and the fifth oldest in the United Kingdom K and is at the forefront of teaching and research in medicine, the humanities and sciences. The Aberdeen Art Gallery houses a collection of Impressionist, Victorian, Scottish and 20th century British paintings as well as collections of silver and glass. Aberdeen offers a thriving cultural calendar, lively theatre, and vibrant nightlife, along with excellent restaurants and attractions. Aberdeen has outstanding parks, gardens and floral displays, particularly roses, daffodils, and crocuses. Football is the most important sport in Aberdeen and most residents support the Aberdeen Football Club. |
