Aberdeen, which is more fondly known as the capital of the Grampian Highlands, is the third largest city in Scotland. The city itself has an historical feel to it and the granite buildings give an air of majesty. There is a great shopping scene and an extensive range of fine restaurants to suit every taste, but the real beauty of Aberdeen lies outside the city. There are miles of deserted coastline with suberb cliff top views and even a ski resort nearby. There are whisky distilleries to explore and ancient castles to discover. Aberdeen is home to many unusual venues, so if you are looking for a conference venue with a difference, Aberdeen is an ideal choice.
