Open Homes workspaceAbout Aberdeen
Aberdeen, the 'Granite City', is built largely from locally quarried grey granite that sparkles in the sun, giving its architecture a distinctive silver sheen. Long a fishing, shipbuilding and trading port on the north-east coast of Scotland, it was transformed from the 1970s into the energy capital of Europe by the North Sea oil and gas industry. With two universities and a strong professional workforce, Aberdeen has a distinctive and active rental market shaped by the energy sector.
