Hello people,

Just wondering if there were any Scots on the board? Especially from the Aberdeen area, as I might get the chance to move "up north" with work, and have never visited the town. Ive been to Glasgow, Stirling, Edinburgh and Inverness but never Aberdeen. So I'm planing a 3/4 day trip up there with the misses to get an idea of the area. Proberly will fly up EasyJet on the Luton-Aberdeen route and then might rent a cheep car for 2 of the days....

So what should we look out for?
Areas of the town that a good/bad?
Bus/Rail network (I drive but my misses doesn't!)
Whats it like being that remote!?

Any help would be cool. I'm not needing a tour guide, just some pointers

Thanks

Poor you. Owen's just gone on his holidays. He's Scottish. As far as I can understand, MajorDick (sorry, MD, you know I'm playing ) is too.

Whys that?

It's my own fault really.... I told my boss I wanted to get as far away from London as possible.... and this was the solution he came up with.

Still nothing will be agreed till I've been there. If I'm using Bracknell, High Wycombe or Slough as the benchmark, its not going to be hard for me to be convinced to move their!

I feel so unloved

Hehe. I am a Scot but i'm from Glasgow area so cannot help I'm afraid, ain't been up to the Granite City..

I live in St Andrews, which isn't far from Aberdeen. Could probably give you some pointers at some point... not right now though, bit busy here in Canada, but if I get a free moment...

Many thanks Owen. I'll look forward to that

My wife has just said if she can help with any information about Ottawa, Montreal or Calgary (as she has lived in all three city's) she'd be happy to help.

Hmm, I can't particularly answer questions 1 or 2 about Aberdeen specifically, but as for 3, I don't see it's really a problem. You still get next-day deliveries (at least, I do in St Andrews - never had that in Orkney!), you can get down to London or anywhere else by train without too much effort (or indeed by plane, as you're doing). If you want remote, try one of the outer Orkney isles.
