Destination Focus: Aberdeen for Meetings and Events

Recently ranked one of the UK’s top ten cities to live and work in, Aberdeen is set to get better still as the city and surrounding region of Aberdeenshire are growing on all fronts.

There is so much to do in the North East of Scotland, using Aberdeen as a hub: from the cultural, theatrical and musical events at His Majesty’s Theatre and the The Music Hall to the many places to learn such as the Gordon Highlanders Museum and the living interactive child museum The Satrosphere.

A drive of about 15 minutes from Aberdeen City centre takes you to the beautiful countryside of Royal Deeside onto the The Castle Trail but watch out for the ghosts! Not your kind of spirit? Check out the nearby Distilleries for Aberdeenshire’s famous whiskys.

Up in Aberdeen, you can still hear words from an original Scots language – Doric – and revel in Scottish culture with its “couthie” people and its “affa fine” traditions. As it is a place that’s used to being off the tourism track, known rather for its natural resources – the city’s granite, its oil, its fish, beef, whisky, and the native language still thrive.
