Aberdeen

Aberdeen is the Granite City, so almost the entire center city is gray. The university is in the Old Aberdeen section, close to where I’m staying, and it has a very different feel to the granite-clad Georgian center. The school dates back to the 1400s. Kings College Chapel was a highlight of the walking tour. Aberdeen sits on the North Sea so there’s a bit of a summer resort feel to it with plenty of sandy beaches. I took a long walk around the city today starting at 8 am and finishing up after lunch. Definitely not my favorite Scottish city, but yesterday’s coastal walk made it worth a visit.Les mer
