Advantages: great city

Disadvantages: cold

The famous granite city - Aberdeen is the third largest city in Scotland but it is also known for being a "village". It is a very friendly place - once you get hour head around the local accent. It has the advantage of being on the east coast of Scotland and has the most fantastic beach that is about two miles long. It is a great place for a sunday morning walk/run followed by a coffee or breakfst in one of the many cafes lined along the beach front. also at the beach there is an amusement park several chain restaurants a cinema and even a retail park. The main shoppin centre of the city is varied - as well as all the usual high street names take a walk along some of the smaller streets and you will find a great choice of little indepedents - especially good for ladies dress shops. The north sea oil business brought a lot of money to the area with many of the oil companies basing themselves here. the city also has two universities - Aberdeen university and Robert Gordons University which attract a lot of students from all over the world. Aberdeen has a lot to offer both families and business alike. Only down side is the weather is always colder than anywhere else

Summary: Great place to be
