Aberdeen is Scotland's third-largest city, a North Sea port built largely of local grey granite that became Europe's oil capital after the 1970s, with a long sandy beach and castle country on its doorstep. Visit the Gordon Highlanders Museum and the fishing village of Footdee, then tour Crathes Castle, Drum Castle, Fyvie Castle and Craigievar Castle, see Pitmedden Garden and the clifftop ruins of Slains Castle.
