Aberdeen

my aunties and uncles live in aberdeen so i have been nearly every year of my life. its the second best city in the world- the first is london. im a very british girl!

I went to meet my current work mates. Crazy men!!
And I met too a creative man, Andrew Sage, he designs games!

‘Cos in comparrison to a lot of places it’s beautiful! Lived here for 10 years, it’a grey and you could end up depressed. There is loads to visit around and about if you are there on holiday especially in the countryside. Edinburgh is the place to visit in Scotland (in my mind) but I’d certainly take a look at Aberdeen. Go and visit the Creel Inn in Catterline, just south of stonehaven they have fine food and it’s a lovely wee village! Go to the University and visit Kings college, go on a walk in the woods, drive North and find a pub for lunch….

Lived there Four Years

I live here and have done for the past sixteen years. I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s true when people say we are quite reserved, and that we drink a lot. If you’re interested in old architecture then maybe you would like it, but otherwise don’t bother.

Aberdeen is an old university town, built mainly of granite and situated on two handsome rivers, the Dee and the Don.

There’s a considerable amount of good architecture, mainly 18th century and Victorian, often with a definate severity about it.

There is a good art collection which has a good range of 20th century British painting, in particular. There’s also a surprising good Botanical Gardens.

The people are essentially quite reserved, until thay start drinking, of course, and they do a great deal of that.

It’s worth visiting for a couple of days, in which time you should go and see some of the castles on the Dee Valley. Best go in spring or summer as it gets dark early in winter.

I spent about 8 years of my life in a little village near here. It was a great place to grow up, I probably wouldn’t like it so much now.

The primary school there was brilliant too. Mrs Mars, I’ll always remember you(weep) :)

The first time i went there … i fell in love with it. The people there are gorgeous (male & female). Their Pizza was the bomb! A section of the town has buildings made with grey-like stones or something. Beautiful place. And of course, the University of Aberdeen has buildings that are at least 500 years old. It was cold, but hey, i live in Chicago. Cant complain.

Been there for a month. I found people to be a little cold. It is difficult to talk to people in bars/restaurents. Don’t want to go back there.

My sister lives here and have never been up to see her even though its only like a 6 hour drive away but one day al get there haha!
