With its sparkling granite buildings, Aberdeen has one of Scotland's most enchanting skylines, while the city's Old Town has a magical air of time gone by. A fantastic range of first-class restaurants and a vibrant nightlife combined with a thriving cultural calendar and shops galore all help make Scotland's third largest city a modern and lively destination that's well worth the trip.

Alternatively, head inland and hit the ski slopes, play on championship golf courses or follow in Queen Victoria's footsteps - the choice is yours.
