Aberdeen is a port city in northeast Scotland, where the Dee and Don rivers meet the North Sea. With an offshore petroleum industry, the city is home to an international population. It's also known as the ‘Granite City’ for its many enduring grey-stone buildings. The 19th-century Marischal College is typical – a monumental Victorian landmark that’s now headquarters of the City Council.
Aberdeen is Scotland's third most populous city, one of Scotland's 32 local government council areas and the United Kingdom's 37th most populous built-up area. Nicknames include the Granite City, the Grey City and the Silver City with the Golden Sands. 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.
Aberdeen received Royal Burgh status from David I of Scotland (1124–53), 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 has won the Britain in Bloom competition a record-breaking ten times, and 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. In 2012, HSBC named Aberdeen as a leading business hub and one of eight 'super cities' spearheading the UK's economy, marking it as the only city in Scotland to receive this accolade.
Aberdeen Airport (ABZ), at Dyce in the north of the city, serves domestic and international destinations. The Dee Estuary, Aberdeen's harbour, has continually been improved. Starting out as a fishing port. Aberdeen is connected to the UK National Cycle Network, and has a track to the south connecting to cities such as Dundee and Edinburgh. National Express operate express coach services to London twice daily.

Shetland's distinctive take on independence as it seeks autonomy for itself
A Viking fire festival has helped to illuminate one unique aspect of the Scottish independence debate.
Many people in Shetland - Scotland's northernmost island chain - claim descent from Norse marauders (raiders).
And with six months to go before Scottish voters decide whether to break away from the United Kingdom, some Shetlanders want looser ties with Scotland too.
In the tiny Shetland village of Gulberwick, hundreds of locals light flaming torches as they march down to the sea to burn a specially-built Viking longboat.
It's one of a number of Up Helly Aa fire festivals that Shetlanders stage annually to commemorate their Viking heritage.
But this year, with Scottish independence a real possibility, the tradition has particular resonance, according to the Viking chief for the night, Keith Lobban.
Shetland is different, Lobban pointed out.
We have Viking blood in our veins.
Shetland has always been different from the rest of Scotland, having been part of Norway until the late 1400s.
It's wealthier than the Scottish average, its economy fuelled by North Sea oil and the fisheries industry.
The population is just 23-thousand, a third of whom live in the island's only town, Lerwick.
Away from the flame and smoke of Up Helly Aa, the independence debate gathers pace in Lerwick's quiet alleyways.
Anderson and Co. knitwear store, established in 1873, sells the island's iconic Shetland wool products.
The owner, Evelyn Leask, is convinced that Shetland - and Scotland - should remain part of the United Kingdom.
I will be voting 'No', she said.
I don't want to see Shetland go away from the United Kingdom. And as far as my plans go, I hope to be able to keep trading with a pound note.
Shetland is home to Sullom Voe, one of the largest oil terminals in Europe.
Significant quantities of North Sea oil pass through here, making it a key argument for campaigners who believe that Scotland should vote for independence.
Brian Nugent, handing out Yes campaign literature at a Lerwick shopping centre, said Scotland should be ruled by Scots, not by politicians in London.
It's about democracy, he argued.
We want to elect the government that we want, not have it chosen for us by someone else.
Authorities on Shetland haven't taken an official position on the independence issue.
But the local council has joined forces with two other Scottish island chains to seek more powers after the referendum, irrespective of the result.
Wary of both London and Edinburgh, some Shetlanders look to Scandinavia as they ponder their long-term future, according to Adam Civico, editor of the Shetland Times.
Whether decisions are made in Edinburgh or whether they're made in London, it's still very distant from Shetland, he noted.
People look across to the Norse countries as well, and how they're governed, and that is reflected in the debate that's taking place locally.
More than a thousand years after the Vikings first landed here, Shetlanders may once again look north, as they seek to work out where in the world they really belong.

Britain's Prince Harry and Meghan Markle visit charity cafe, Holyrood Palace on first Scotland trip
Prince Harry and his American fiancée Meghan Markle visited Edinburgh on Tuesday (February 13) on an official joint visit to Scotland ahead of their marriage in May.
They visited Social Bite, a charity that runs cafes and distributes food to the homeless, as well as employing staff who have been homeless. The eatery has attracted visits from other high-profile names such as actors George Clooney and Leonardo di Caprio.
It's good to see Irn-Bru again, the prince quipped, referring to the soft drink, legendary in Scotland for its advertising line - 'Made from Girders'.
Harry, 33, and Markle, 36, also attended a reception at the Palace of Holyrood, meeting youth representatives from several charities.
Queen Elizabeth's grandson, fifth-in-line to the throne, and Markle, star of the U.S. TV legal drama Suits, announced their engagement last year and will be married on May 19 at Windsor Castle.
As part of a tour of Britain before their big day, they have also visited the English city of Nottingham and the Welsh capital Cardiff.

Well we range in age from 20's up into the 60's. A range of professional people, we have students come in, some retired ladies and a whole range of experiences. We've got people like myself who are pretty much complete novices, to people who can knit a jumper in approximately three hours it seems like sometimes, but we have a fantastic range of people coming and joining in.
