Aberdeen has a population of over 200,000 and is located on the North-East coast of Scotland in the United Kingdom. It is best known as the Granite City due to the almost exclusive use of local granite in its construction for over 200 years.
Aberdeen’s urban environment is rich with built fabric that reflects its long history from medieval origins. A truly diverse city it includes a medieval cathedral and Kirk, vast public buildings, ostentatious west end villas, humble fishing cottages, a working harbour and some of the most impressive planned nineteenth century streets in Scotland. The archaeology and architecture of the City include many sites, monuments and buildings of national interest and importance.
