Ever considered living in Scotland? How about Aberdeen? With its distinct<\/p>\n\n\n\n
architecture, Aberdeen is often referred to as the \u2018Granite city\u2019 because<\/p>\n\n\n\n
literally everything is made from Granite. Normally you would associate<\/p>\n\n\n\n
this type of architecture with a boring and depressing environment, but<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aberdeen makes a big exception. Due to the city being heavily invested in<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the oil and gas industry, Aberdeen has tonnes of vacancies for skilled<\/p>\n\n\n\n
work, perfect for expats!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even though you could consider Aberdeen a small city, it\u2019s nightlife would<\/p>\n\n\n\n
make you think your partying in London or Manchester! You\u2019ll have no<\/p>\n\n\n\n
problem finding somewhere to go for every night of the week. Be warned<\/p>\n\n\n\n
though, Aberdeen may have amazing historical architecture, but the<\/p>\n\n\n\n
cobbled streets are a nightmare to walk through in heels so be extra<\/p>\n\n\n\n
careful ladies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019ve got some more cash to spend, take it down to the many shops<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aberdeen has to offer! Trinity Shopping Centre, Union square, Union street<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and Bon accord each offer a wide-ranging shopping experience to suit<\/p>\n\n\n\n
anyone. If you find yourself feeling a bit peckish, why not visit the<\/p>\n\n\n\n
international continental street market on Union terrace just off Union<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Street?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thanks to its position being next to the coast, Aberdeen can get rather<\/p>\n\n\n\n
windy some days. \u201crather\u201d meaning that gales and storms aren\u2019t<\/p>\n\n\n\n
uncommon so be sure to wrap up when venturing out! Don\u2019t worry,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
temperatures rise back up to 20s during July with a great 18 hours of<\/p>\n\n\n\n
daylight to play with. With all that daylight you can get so much done,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
luckily Aberdeen is renowned for having the best of both worlds for either<\/p>\n\n\n\n
its go-getter or people who just prefer a quieter life. The city offers<\/p>\n\n\n\n
fantastic mountain climbing and peaceful walk along the coast. Don\u2019t let<\/p>\n\n\n\n
those strong winds get in the way of your golf shot though! With over 50<\/p>\n\n\n\n
golf courses nearby Aberdeen boasts a long list of prestigious golf courses<\/p>\n\n\n\n
such as Cruden Bay and Aboyne Golf Club<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aberdeen may have its name of the \u2018Granite City\u2019 but did you know that<\/p>\n\n\n\n
over a quarter of the place is actually open space? Then it will come as no<\/p>\n\n\n\n
surprise that Aberdeen has won Britain in the Bloom for an amazing 10<\/p>\n\n\n\n
times, a record! If it\u2019s a sunny day take a visit to one of Aberdeen\u2019s<\/p>\n\n\n\n
diverse variety parks such as the 44-acre Duthie park or the city centre<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Union Terrace gardens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other areas such as St Cyrus Beach, which has become a common<\/p>\n\n\n\n
destination for its popular recreational sports, offer a great place to take<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the children. However, it would be a massive waste not to take them to<\/p>\n\n\n\n
see the historic castles such as Dunnottar and Fyvie Castle, that only<\/p>\n\n\n\n
require a short car journey to get to them. Combine all these with the<\/p>\n\n\n\n
hundreds of walking trails to explore and you can certainly make a fun<\/p>\n\n\n\n
day out of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
