Aberdeen

The third largest city in Scotland, Aberdeen is located in the north east of Scotland, at the mouths of the rivers Dee and Don (collectively known as the tweedles, from the Scots word "tweed" which means river). Aberdeen is the major logistical centre of the North Sea oil industry and is also famous as a fishing port and a centre of educational excellence. From late Mediaeval times until the late 19th century, Aberdeen was home to as many universities as the whole of England.

Aberdeen is known as the Granite City. A person from Aberdeen is called an Aberdonian. Aberdeen is the least religious city in Scotland. [[1]]

There are also cities called Aberdeen in Texas, South Dakota, Wyoming, Utah, California, New Mexico, and Alabama in the United States, and Northern Australia, New South Wales, and Tasmania in Australia.
