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.
