Aberdeen

Aberdeen is Scotland's third largest city which, since the discovery of the North Sea Oil, has boasted wealth and prosperity reflected in its wide range of excellent shops, bars, restaurants, and museums. There is plenty of breathtaking scenery to see, from the high Grampians, through attractive river valleys and quaint fishing harbours, to the sandy coves and the high cliffs of the North Sea coastline. You can go on a number of trails if you wish to experience the history and culture of the city. The Malt Whisky Trail takes you to the famous distilleries where you can learn how centuries of skill and experience create the whisky.

Other trails include coastal and castle trails and the Victorian Heritage Trail that takes you to Balmoral, summer residence of the Queen.

For those planning an energetic break, you can go trout or salmon fishing on the rivers Don and Dee, pony trekking, hill walking or golfing on one of the excellent golf courses. Being in the rain-shadow of the mountains the climate is much drier than that of the west coast, so a spot of sunbathing on Aberdeen's golden sandy beach is a possibility in the summer months.
