The local area guide to living in Aberdeen

Aberdeen is often known as the Silver City with the Golden Sands, because of its granite buildings with specks of mica, which give it a sparkling look on sunny days. It’s the third most populous city in Scotland, and the coldest in the UK – although it is still milder than many other similarly positioned cities. Aberdeen has won the Britain in Bloom award an impressive 10 times.

The city’s economy has historically been supported by the fishing and oil industries, although the move towards alternative energy sources has put new industries into the lead, such as electronics and agriculture. There’s also been a shift to fishing research and development, as deep-sea fishing has become more popular.

Aberdeen has a fairly young population, with around 67% of residents at working age – compared with the national average of 63%. A little under 16% of the population are under 19, and approximately 17% are pensioners lower than the Scottish national average of 20%.

With just 3% of 16 to 24 year olds in Aberdeen claiming Job Seekers Allowance, compared with an average of 7.1% in Scotland, the city is economically strong. Approximately 2.5% of 25 to 49 year olds claim Job Seekers Allowance, and 1.5% of over 50 year olds – compared to 4% and 1.5% respectively in Scotland.

From Edinburgh or London, you can continue travel to other major cities in England, such as Newcastle and Leeds, or you can catch a direct train from Aberdeen to Nottingham, Birmingham, Cardiff or Leicester thanks to the East Coast Main Line routes.
