About Aberdeen:

The "Granite City" is Scotland's third largest city with a population of around 210,000.

With a proud and fascinating history, the City of Aberdeen presents a modern cosmopolitan image to visitors who are often surprised by the many diverse attractions which the regional capital of Grampian Highlands offers.

The city has long been famous for its outstanding parks, gardens and floral displays which greet the visitor - with around 2 million roses, 11 million daffodils and 3 million crocuses, it is not difficult to see why Aberdeen is known as the "Flower of Scotland".

Aberdeen is fortunate in having excellent museums and galleries in its compact city centre which are all within easy walking distance of each other.

Provost Skene's House, Marischal Museum, Maritime Museum and Schoolhill Art Gallery are all well worth a visit.

The city's two miles of sands ensure its status as a coastal resort and modern attractions have meant that the area has kept pace with modern tastes with Codona's Amusement Park boasting indoor and outdoor funfair attractions.

There are bars, cafés, restaurants, a golf complex on the King's Links, Pittodrie Stadium - the home of Aberdeen Football Club, the Beach Leisure Centre with its pool and the Linx Ice Arena.

Nearby a modern cinema complex and "Aberdeen Fun Beach", with its year-round facilities, form one of Scotland's premier leisure and entertainment districts.

Scotland's Castle and Whisky Country:

Scotland's Castle and Whisky Country is more than a little bit special – with miles of unspoiled coastline, some of the world's finest malt whisky and more castles than any other part of the United Kingdom.

This region of Scotland is blessed with outstanding scenery and a tranquil unspoiled environment. Take a little time to explore and here you will discover the 'Coastal Trail', 'Royal Deeside', 'Glorious Gardens' and Scotland's only 'Malt Whisky Trail' - to name but a few.

We at the Crown will be happy to advise on any local sights you wish to see during your stay.
