Aberdeen (pop. 201,099) is an ancient university centre and the principal city in the north of Scotland. It is the main service centre for the North Sea oil industry. It is also a fishing port of major importance in the United Kingdom. Aberdeen is governed by a unitary authority, which is responsible for all local government powers.
The city lies between the mouths of the rivers dee and Don. The three-kilometre stretch between the river estuaries is a sandy beach. The name Aberdeen means mouth of the Dee.
Aberdeen is famous for its buildings dating from the 1800''s. Many are built of granite, and, as a result, Aberdeen is often called the granite city. The quarrying and finishing of granite has long been an industry in the area. Aberdeen has three cathedrals, and medieval bridges lie across the rivers Don and Dee.
