Aberdeen - is a city in northeast Scotland. It is Scotland's third most populous city, one of Scotland's 32 local government council areas and the United Kingdom's 39th most populous built-up area, with an official population estimate of 196,670 for the city of Aberdeen and 228,800 for the local council area.
During the mid-18th to mid-20th centuries, Aberdeen's buildings incorporated locally quarried grey granite, which can sparkle like silver because of its high mica content. Since the discovery of North Sea oil in the 1970s, Aberdeen has been known as the off-shore oil capital of Europe. The area around Aberdeen has been settled for at least 8,000 years, when prehistoric villages lay around the mouths of the rivers Dee and Don. The city has a long, sandy coastline and a marine climate, the latter resulting in chilly summers and mild winters.
Aberdeen received Royal burgh status from David I of Scotland (1124–1153), transforming the city economically. The city's two universities, the University of Aberdeen, founded in 1495, and Robert Gordon University, which was awarded university status in 1992, make Aberdeen the educational centre of the north-east of Scotland. The traditional industries of fishing, paper-making, shipbuilding, and textiles have been overtaken by the oil industry and Aberdeen's seaport. Aberdeen Heliport is one of the busiest commercial heliports in the world and the seaport is the largest in the north-east of Scotland.
Aberdeen hosts the Aberdeen International Youth Festival, a major international event which attracts up to 1000 of the most talented young performing arts companies. In 2015, Mercer named Aberdeen the 57th most liveable city in the world, as well as the fourth most liveable city in Britain.
Aberdeen's architecture is known for its principal use during the Victorian era of granite, which has led to its local nickname of the Granite City or more romantically the less commonly used name the Silver City, since the Mica in the stone sparkles in the sun.
Amongst the notable buildings in the city's main street, Union Street, are the Town and County Bank, the Music Hall, the Trinity Hall of the incorporated trades (originating between 1398 and 1527, although completely rebuilt in the 1860s), now a shopping mall; the former office of the Northern Assurance Company, and the National Bank of Scotland. In Castle Street, a continuation eastwards of Union Street, is the new Town House, a very prominent landmark in Aberdeen, built between 1868 and 1873 to a design by Peddie and Kinnear.
Alexander Marshall Mackenzie's extension to Marischal College on Broad Street, opened by King Edward VII in 1906, created the second largest granite building in the world (after the Escorial, Madrid).
Аберди́н — главный морской и рыболовецкий порт, третий по величине город в Шотландии. Административный и культурный центр округа Абердин-Сити. Также в городе располагается муниципальный совет округа Абердиншир. В XII-XIV веках был резиденцией шотландских королей.
Город лежит между устьями рек Ди и Дон, и исторически разделяется на Старый Абердон (Aberdon) — северная часть города простирающаяся до Дона, и Новый Абердин (бывшая рыбацкая деревушка на реке Ди) — южная часть города, тянущаяся вдоль левого берега Ди. Абердин вырос на месте древнеримской колонии Девана. Официально обе части Абердина объединились в 1891 году. Город соединён с Инверури каналом, длиной в 80 км.
Абердин — крупнейший порт Северной Шотландии, центр морской торговли со странами Скандинавии и Балтики. С 1970-х годов является организационным центром района нефтепромыслов на Северном море.
Абердин является и центром шотландской рыбообрабатывающей промышленности. Развита химическая, целлюлозно-бумажная, пищевая (рыбоконсервная) и судостроительная промышленность (как в самом городе, так и в пригородах). Имеется текстильное (преимущественно шерстяное) производство. Абердин — старинный центр добычи и шлифовки гранита и мрамора.
Отличительной особенностью старой застройки города являются фасады из местного полированного («серебряного») гранита. Такими домами, в частности, застроена главная магистраль города — Юнион-стрит; здесь находятся самые старые кварталы города, Кастлгейт (XIII—XIV века). Местный гранит использовался и при сооружении кафедрального собора святого Махара (строительство было начало в 1164 году, в 1380-х годах собор был перестроен; шпиль относится к XVI веку). Сохранились фрагменты гражданской застройки XVI века; к этому столетию относятся также капелла Королевского колледжа (1500—1505 годы), здание Маришаль-колледжа (1593 год).
