In recent years the ancient granite city of Aberdeen has experienced an economic boom, it is now a major centre for the North Sea oil industry. Aberdeen has retained its historical charm though and is known as "the flower of Scotland" - carefully tended parks, gardens and planters fill the city. Visit the ancient and noteworthy St. Machar's Cathedral or, as a contrast for the whole family, Codona's Amusement Park, close to the beautifully maintained beach. Storybook Glen - a fantasy theme park appeals to everyone. The Gordon Highlander's Museum is of interest to the military inclined, and the Planetarium will also impress.

Scotland is a place where you can watch golden eagles soar over the rocky peaks of the Cuillin and play golf on some of the world's most hallowed courses. The landscape heaves a heavy sigh of the past: a moor that was once a battlefield, a beach where Vikings hauled their boats ashore, a cave where Bonnie Prince Charlie once sheltered. Like a fine single malt, Scotland is a connoisseur's delight - it reveals its true depth and complex flavours only to those who savour it slowly.
Scotland is the land of the Thistle and the Heather. A great destination, the country is a haven of environmental cleanliness, beauty, wilderness and romance. Its ruggedness, honesty and authenticity makes it one of the most interesting countries of the world. As Madonna said - Scotland is 'dripping with atmosphere and romance' - this evocative nature coupled with the buzzwords of film, celebrity, challenge, adventure, reality makes it a must see country.
There are some things that are uniquely Scottish but in truth, there's no single element that defines the country. Rather, it's a subtle blend of many different ingredients that have been added to the mix down through the centuries. |
