Aberdeen is rich in history from its maritime past. It's where the harbour meets the city centre and is famous for its stunning architecture and ancient charm. It's also known as the 'Granite City' and is surrounded by the beautiful countryside of Aberdeenshire, with its forests, mountains and attractive coastline. The locally quarried grey granite can be found sparkling within buildings, as the sun catches the glittering mica crystals.
