About Aberdeen
These days, the city of Aberdeen is best known as being the centre of the UK Oil industry, and it is certainly true that in recent years, north sea oil has dominated the economy of the city, transforming it into a minor fishing and commercial port into one of the largest and most important economic cities in the whole of the UK.
Aberdeen is a city that at first glance appears to be a dark and unwelcoming place. The principal civic buildings in the city centre are largely built from granite, which gives the walls a dark colour that is unusual when you first see it, however once you get the chance to explore the city and meet the locals, you quickly find that Aberdeen is a destination that is warmly welcoming to visitors, and an enjoyable place to visit.
During the day there is plenty to see and do in Aberdeen. There are a number of excellent museums and art galleries including the Maritime Museum and a museum telling the story of the local oil industry since it began in the 1970s.
Along the River Dee there are numerous short walks to enjoy, and you don't have to go far outside the city before you are into the rolling mid Scotland hills. Of course the thing that Aberdeen is best known for is the great range of golf courses that are available within easy reach of the city. The sport originated in Scotland, and many of the best links courses in the UK are to be found in the coastal regions around Aberdeen including St Andrews.
If you book car hire in Aberdeen then one of the most interesting things you can do is make a trip inland towards the famous Loch Ness. Although you're unlikely to see the monster, you will almost certainly be amazed by the incredible landscapes that roll around the loch, and be sure to take the time out to visit the iconic Urquhart Castle, which overlooks the water and is a stunning photo opportunity on a misty morning or a clear evening.
