The town of Aberdeen Airport

Aberdeen Airport

Serving Scotland's third largest city, with a population of over 200,000 Aberdeen is renowned for its parks and gardens.

Industry

Aberdeen was once home to fishing, textile mills, ship building and paper making. But these industries have all but gone now and have been replaced with high technology developments in the electronics design and development industry, research in agriculture and fishing and oil industry which has been largely responsible for Aberdeen's economic boom in the last three decades. Fishing was once the predominant industry, but lately, catches have fallen due to over fishing in previous years, and the use of the harbour by oil support vessels. Aberdeen remains an important fishing port but is now eclipsed by the more northerly ports of Peterhead and Fraserburgh. The discovery of significant oil deposits in the North Sea during the late 20th Century made Aberdeen the centre of Europe's petroleum industry. With the second largest heliport in the world and an important service ship harbour port serving oil rigs off-shore Aberdeen is often called the Oil Capital of Europe.
