Aberdeen has it all: a vibrant nightlife scene, scenic historic architecture and a wealth of culture. The city is situated in the north-east of Scotland and is the third largest city in the country. Once an ancient settlement, people have lived in the area for more than 8000 years. It has been transformed from an early community into a bustling modern metropolis with around 220,000 inhabitants currently. In spite of Scotland's reputation for grey weather, Aberdeen has more sunshine than Birmingham and gets almost as much as England's capital, London.
Scotland is famous for its eventful past, much of which is physically represented in picturesque castles from a bygone era. However, Aberdeen is very much a lively urban sprawl with museums, theme parks and lush green gardens to enjoy as well.
