Aberdeen is known as the ‘Granite City’ because of the type of stone of which most properties here are constructed.
Although originally a small fishing village many years ago, Aberdeen grew and prospered as a support base for the North Sea oil industry but has suffered decline in recent years. The oil industry is now under focus due to the impact of climate change.
