The city of Aberdeen is situated in the Northeast of Scotland. With its range of parks and gardens it is a multiple past winner
of "Britain in Bloom". Aberdeen is worth visiting not only for itself but also for its surroundings. It makes an
excellent centre for touring the Northeast including Royal Deeside.
The Northeast of Scotland is rich in history and
prehistory - stone circles, carved standing stones, hill forts,underground chambers and castles (not as large perhaps as in
Wales, but then we did not let Edward stay to finish his plans).
Archaeolink near Aberdeen provides an excellent introduction to the prehistory of the area.
It has reconstructions of an Iron Age farm, Stone Age camp, Roman camp, a henge and a stone circle as well as the remains of an actual hillfort.
The area is also rich in distilleries, many open to the public. All this is set in some wonderful scenery.
