What is it about Aberdeen property?

Mention the city of Aberdeen when you’re talking to a group of people, and you’ll conjure up a diverse range of images in their minds, depending on their own personal and professional interests. For Aberdeen means completely different things to different people. In the case of avid followers of Premier League football, Aberdeen’s major significance is likely to be the fact that it’s home to one of Scotland’s major football teams. Fans from all over the UK and Europe have made their way to Pittodrie over the years to be buffeted by the wind as they watch the “fitba’”. If, on the other hand, your particular penchant is for things piscine or maritime, then Aberdeen’s position as one of Scotland’s main ports - not to mention its reputation for having one of the most dynamic harbours in Europe - will probably be uppermost in your mind.

And if you’re interested in architecture, the mere mention of Aberdeen property will be enough to fill your thoughts with pictures of grey granite buildings sparkling in that clear stark sunlight so characteristic of North East Scotland. One building in the Silver City which is worthy of special mention is Marischal College, the second biggest granite building in the world after l’Alhambra in Spain. Granite is one of the most durable building materials available, which is why the city’s buildings look brand new after cleaning and re-pointing. In many other Scottish cities, the majority of buildings were built from sandstone, so they require far more structural maintenance to combat weathering. Whatever your reason for being in Aberdeen, you’ll be captivated by the architecture of the Silver City.
