Aberdeen OIL CAPITAL
Aberdeen in the north east is Europe’s oil capital. Since the 1970s, it has become a thriving hub for the oil fields in the North Sea – bringing people from all over the world to live and work there. It does not take its
affluence for granted, however. Aberdeen is fast becoming a centre of excellence for the alternative energies that will fuel the world when oil is gone, as well as the home to a growing life sciences industry.
Dundee CITY OF DISCOVERY
Dundee sits between Aberdeen and Edinburgh. The ‘City of Discovery’ has,
as the title would indicate, a fascinating history of innovation and is the centre of Scotland’s gaming industry.
Scotland’s wilderness THE GREAT OUTDOORS
The great thing about Scotland is that if you live in a city you’re still never far from some of the most wonderful countryside to be found anywhere. In a few hours’ drive, you can either be in the north
western Highlands and islands, which offer spectacular mountains, forests and glens (valleys), or in rolling hills and charming villages of the Borders to the south – and, of course, there’s loads more to discover in between! So whether you want to live in the fast lane, or amble
along at a leisurely pace, the diversity of Scotland offers something for everyone.
Glasgow, Scotland’s largest city, brands itself as ‘Scotland with Style’, and its rich design heritage is obvious. Iconic design from the likes of Charles Rennie Mackintosh characterise the city. It has an extensive student population, and is increasingly popular with tourists.
