Aberdeen, located in northeast Scotland, is known as the "Granite City" due to its many enduring grey-stone buildings. It is Scotland's third-largest city and serves as a major hub for the North Sea oil industry, earning it another nickname, the "Oil Capital of Europe." Aberdeen boasts a rich maritime history and a vibrant cultural scene, with attractions such as the Aberdeen Maritime Museum, the historic University of Aberdeen founded in 1495, and the striking Marischal College.
