I'm off to Aberdeen in 3weeks,just for the weekend! What should I 'look out' for,scenery,buildings,sunrises/sets,good pubs/eateries and what of the public transport system?
I've just (5wks.ago) had 2wks in Glasgow-I love this city!! and I don't want to be underwhelmed by Aberdeen.
Please be realistic,I'm going up/down on the train & using local buses to get around.
Cheers.

Watch out for pickpockets, especially if you're going to the bus station.
I've subscribed to this Q, will get a hold of my niece and ask her, (another ab'er works in Aberdeen but doesn't come on here and I'll email him.)

You should always be wary of pick-pockets anywhere, not just Aberdeen.

There's a great Thai restaurant called Chaophraya.

You might see the odd white fire engine but I believe they've all disappeared now following the merging of Scotland's fire services.
Go to a local bakers and get some fresh butteries the best in the world!
And, if you think you hear a local say, "Furry boots?" in reply to something, you've got it wrong; it's their version of "Whereabouts?" (I should really say "our" rather than "their"!)
There's 2 bus companies in Aberdeen - Stagecoach Bluebird and First Aberdeen

Well,I've survived the weekend in Aberdeen! Briefly saw both rivers,the Don & the Dee & checked out the cathedral & one of the Universities. Ended up eating & drinking mainly in the Wild Boar on Belmont Street but did venture up to Chapel St. & Huey's?
Wonder why the 'chugger' takes longer to Aberdeen than it does to London?
Obvious signs of money deserting the city and a severe need for re-investment.
Nothing there to tempt me back!
