Aberdeen Environmental Guide: Scotland Beautiful City Tour Book

Aberdeen, known as the Granite City because of its classic grey stone architecture, is a symbol of the strength and tenacity of the northeastern Scottish people and a testimony to Scotland's rich and varied history. With a history spanning more than 8,000 years, the city is intricately linked to both its stunning surroundings and its cultural and historical significance. Originally a modest fishing village, Aberdeen has grown throughout the ages to become the third-largest city in Scotland. This masks its significant global influence, especially in the fields of energy production, education, and maritime exploration.
Aberdeen's unique cultural tapestry is made up of strands from several historical periods. Its two venerable universities, Robert Gordon University, which developed from a school founded in the middle of the eighteenth century, and the University of Aberdeen, which was founded in 1495, have been hubs of enlightenment and have contributed significantly to the advancement of science and thought over the ages. The city boasts a thriving arts environment that is reflected in the many galleries, theaters, and music venues that showcase both traditional and modern Scottish art forms. This is due to the city's rich cultural and educational traditions.
