Aberdeen

The landscape around Aberdeen is a low, windswept North Sea coast shaped by the River Dee estuary, which has influenced both the city’s layout and local economy. Often called the Granite City, Aberdeen is defined by buildings faced with locally quarried grey granite, particularly around broad Union Street and Marischal College. Its harbour has long connected the city to maritime trade and fishing; since the late 20th century, Aberdeen has also become a major operational centre for the UK’s North Sea oil and gas industry. The River Don reaches the sea north of the centre, while Aberdeen Beach runs along the eastern edge.
