The 'Granite City', as it is often known, is arguably Scotland's forgotten city; the country's central belt stars of Edinburgh, Glasgow and Dundee attract the most visitors, but Aberdeen is an interesting and hugely enjoyable city.

A large student population helps the nightlife immeasurably, while the Aberdeenshire coastline is marked by some monumental golf courses. Royal Aberdeen, Murcar Links and Cruden Bay are names that should be enough to whet the appetite - these plus a few more lie in wait for a fantastic Aberdeen golf tour.
