Places to visit in Aberdeen Scotland
Aberdeen is the third largest city in Scotland, in relation to the city’s population size. Aberdeen’s buildings, since the mid eighteenth century, have been made using local grey granite and the city is well known for its sandy coastline. This has led to the city being nicknamed the Silver City with the Golden Sands and also the Granite City. However in more recent times the city has added the nicknames of the Oil Capital of Europe or the Energy Capital of Europe due to the discovery of oil in the North Sea. The city has benefitted greatly from the income generated by the oil industry and the support industries. Nowadays Aberdeen is thoroughly modern and immensely vibrant with a lively nightlife.
