The official account for tourism in Aberdeen & Aberdeenshire, Scotland. So says National Geographic.

Aberdeenshire stretches from “one of the last great places on earth” (the Cairngorms) to “one of the world’s top-rated coastlines”. And The Scotsman (one of Scotland’s national newspapers) calls its city of Aberdeen – where ships dock right up against the city-centre streets and dolphins leap in the busy North Sea harbour – “one of the most architecturally distinctive in Europe”. Head to visitabdn.com to start planning your visit to the North-east!
