@@masofo4769 The weather, location, drugs, the poor rundown state of Union Street etc! I can say that because it's my home city. Left after 55 years. Don't miss it but I do miss the sea even on cold wet days.
@@fannycraddock99 yeah its so true it gets a lot of negativity for the drugs, weather, location, and how bad and run down the main street Union street is especially when its the main shopping street and now with how they have wasted so much money on the new Union terrace gardens is just a complete waste of money as that could have been used too really make Union street glow and make it a nice street to walk down etc.
I just Loved Aberdeen, for 2 years and above, when use to travel to extreme corner of all the First bus trails cults to bridge of Don to garthdee drive, use to walk across the city for days and week to explore the city. Even after 12 years I can recollect each and every street and corner of road to all the building, Aberdeen is just a beautiful jewel which cannot be narrated in words, will try to settle in my old age
I live in Aberdeen, born and bred, and it has been so interesting seeing the Granite City from above. I’m retired now with lots of time on my hands so you have reminded me of many places I can revisit for some beautiful walks. We are very privileged in Aberdeen to have so many beautiful parks, aren’t we? Thank you for this amazing video🙏🏴
As an Aberdeen native who’s been living abroad for 26 years, this brought back so many memories - especially the Torry Battery and Girdleness lighthouse where I played as a nipper. I also used to play around Seaton Park and St Machar Cathedral was our school church. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
The you for this video....I'm in Aberdeen right now and have been visiting some of the places you recommend ....what a beautiful city! I went to the beach ....Seaton park....the cathedral...marischal college...the old stone bridge... the river don walk....I'm so tired but saw some lovely places all in the sunshine ! I'm off to Balmoral tomorrow!
Nice video have just spent my first summer in Aberdeen and it was beautiful...it's a lovely city ..not to crowded and serene...nice one keep up the good work 😊😊
Aberdeen keeps popping up in my TH-cam feed since my Ancestry research brought me to Scotland, Aberdeenshire, the Earls Marischal and Dunnottar! How Id love to visit and explore there, but I'm now 75, living in Vermont USA, and doing most of my travelling on TH-cam 😊
I Love Aberdeen live and worked here for 8 years now it has a wonderful history and the buildings are beautiful and blend in well with the modern high risers and offices the beach is lovely especially in the summer but in the winter wild and invigorating.
Very beautiful places the North Sea .Torry battery,Duthie park .......others.l had been oppotunities watching them with my own eyes and walking by the streets of Aberdeen.I live very far from Scotland .Different sights,nature ,buildings,cultures, traditions but peoples are kind there and in my country.God bless and save all peoples of the World !
Okay so I just finished a video about Kintore. Thanks for the suggestion. If you want to check it out here it is... th-cam.com/video/4W2zoXeAlC0/w-d-xo.html
Great video, thank you. I want to move to rural Scotland but am torn between Aberdeenshire and Inverness-Shire. I prefer trees and lush green valleys to the more remote moorlands. Would you say Aberdeenshire is best? 🦋
Both are beautiful… I would favor Aberdeenshire for 2 main reasons. One being sunshine - the east coast statistically gets more sun. The second is accessibility to the rest of the UK is quicker and easier from Aberdeenshire.
I'm somewhat disappointed that you didn't show Footdee (Fittie) the first social housing in Aberdeen dating back into the 1600's. It orriginally had two squares but they built a middle row to meet housing needs. Footdee or Fittie to the locals is opposite the Torry Battery and approching from the other direction just past the Cadona's Funfair and heading to the harbour. Another worthy place is Provast Skene's house dating back to the 1600's (I may be wrong on the date) but Aberdeen council when demolishing St. Nicolas House in 2014 built another monstrosity covering the Provast's house from view. It's still there you just need to cross to the other side of Marshall Collage and go round the back of the glass monstrosity and you will find access to the house. The Duke of Cumberland stayed here for 6 weeks on his march north to the battle of Culloden Moor on 16th April 1746. Other places of note are The Art Gallery on Schoolhill. There are other places in the city facing to the harbour is Provast Ross's house which has all sorts of displays and information about The Oil Industry.
wow thanks so much for showing Aberdeen in it's true and beauty i have lived in Aberdeenshire and Aberdeen city all my life and i absolutely love it. I first lived in Banchory which is a beautiful town 18 miles from Aberdeen i lived there from when i was born until i turned 18 and from then i served in the British forces for just over 3 years then unfortunately i was medically discharged and when that happened i moved in the city and have been here ever since and like yourself i love Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire. So do you still live here or have you moved away? But thanks again for the lovely video i am just away to watch your Aberdeenshire video and i have also subscribed, Take care and stay safe
I have several friends who went to Robert Gordon University. Unfortunately, I am now living back in the USA and don’t have the opportunity to get any footage. Maybe in a future trip?
Hi my name is Rattan. Singh was. born in Aberdeen lived in king.street. Thanku for ur video. Home is home pls keep these update of Aberdeen i. am married. In Nottingham. 1982👍👍⭐️⭐️
Outside of Aberdeen yes! Around the end of October I managed to take this shot: ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/976/cpsprodpb/11007/production/_121293696_aurora-harlieraethel-003.jpg.webp Here is the article that was on BBC Scotland: www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-59112600
Other great places to visit in Aberdeenshire is all the castles surrounding the city. If you have time, Balmoral is not that far for a day trip. There is Dunottar Castle in Stonehaven, Crathes Castle, outside of Banchory, Fyvie Castle in Fyvie, allegedly haunted - was featured on "Most Haunted" Series, and many more Some are complete Ruins like Dunottar and Slains, the others are in pristine condition and do tours. Slains Castle was allegedly the inspiration for Dracula, and Dunottar was used for the movie with Mel Gibson and Glen Close, a Shakespeare play called MacBeth.
hey mate, weve had ed rush and optical, Andy C, scratch perverts and more playing here in the 2000s when i was in my 20s at the now closed but infamous KEF bar on Belmont street, brings a tear to my eye 😂 not a concrete jungle but a Granite jungle, much more bonnie! ✌

Yeah Aberdeenshire is full of some awesome stuff. If you are interested, check out my other 2 videos on Aberdeenshire. Thanks!
Going there this summer,is it worth visiting?
Absolutely!
Aberdeen is one of the best city to visit in Scotland

I am from Iraq and we love you very much. Please advise me, because I was accepted at the University of Aberdeen to study for one year.

remember guys, is inadvisable to walk through seaton park during the hours of darkness
You need to import colored paint urgently. The city looks like a gray cemetery from up high.
It looks like it didn't really benefit from the oil business.
es un lugar recomendable Aberdeen con un chico de 10 años?
Supercaleyfragilisticexpealidosish
All a little bit.
looks like a concrete jungle - wheres the party ?!
You expect wooden shacks for houses ? Stupid comment
hey mate, weve had ed rush and optical, Andy C, scratch perverts and more playing here in the 2000s when i was in my 20s at the now closed but infamous KEF bar on Belmont street, brings a tear to my eye 😂
