What to do in Aberdeen
Known as the Granite City or Silver City, Aberdeen’s mining of grey granite for over 300 years can be seen throughout the town.
Aberdeen Maritime Museum is situated in Provost Ross’ House that was first built in 1593. The museum explores the relationship between the city and the sea throughout the years.

The world-famous Aberdeen Angus beef is worth trying while you’re in the town. But for those who have other tastes and requirements, Aberdeen has a diverse range of cuisines, restaurants and eateries that caters for any budget or appetite.
