Aberdeen City and Shire

Aberdeen is Scotland’s third largest city and Europe’s energy capital – a place with historic charm, a thriving economy and cosmopolitan community of some 220,000 people.

A coastline of spectacular beaches and dunes stretch north of the city, while to the west lies nearby Royal Deeside, home to some of the most beautiful countryside in Scotland and the eastern gateway to the mountainous Cairngorms National Park. 

With a student population of over 40,000, Aberdeen caters for all cultural, leisure and entertainment tastes. His Majesty’s Theatre, The Music Hall,
Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre, and The Lemon Tree regularly attract national and international artists and companies. The city also boasts three cinema multiplexes,
Aberdeen Art Gallery, a Maritime Museum and first-class sports facilities.
