Aberdeen is a historic city of the United Kingdom and has had human settlements residing in it for over 8000 years.

Here you can spot dolphins and sharks. Aberdeen’s name joins the name of the two rivers, and translates to ‘mouth of the river Don’ and is the meeting place of the Dee and the Don rivers. This ‘Granite City’ and ‘The Silver City’ dubbed for its long-enduring grey-stone buildings, is a surprisingly green city, claiming the ‘Britain in Bloom’ award 13 times.
