Aberdeen

Aberdeen is the third largest in Scotland and it is a very popular destination from visitors from within Scotland and from further afield. There are numerous attractions that the city has to offer and it is well know for its rich culture and colourful history.

If you're considering visiting Aberdeen then you should carefully consider when you do so due to the climate. The weather can be quite pleasant during the summer months, however in winter it can be extremely cold, which is often made worse due to the city's costal location. Because of this location on the East Coast of Scotland Aberdeen has a history of maritime industries such as fishing and ship building. Although both of those industries have now declined somewhat since their heyday the location of the city still provides a massive boost to the local economy due to the presence of oil and gas rigs off the coast. A number of people who work for the companies that operate these facilities live in and around Aberdeen . The oil industry still plays an important role in the economy of Aberdeen and it is known as the centre of the European oil industry.

Many people who work for the oil companies that are based in Aberdeen will live outside the city and commute in. This is made possible by a well maintained public transport system and the city is easily accessible by rail, road and air.
