OGV Guide to Aberdeen 2022 by Kenny Dooley

GUIDE TO ABERDEEN

What you may not know is that Aberdeen is one of the oldest cities in the UK, bursting with history, culture and innovation. Aberdeen’s primary industries were once fishing, textiles, shipbuilding, agriculture and papermaking, but today its economy is primarily focused on the Energy sector, which is made up of north sea oil and gas and a growing renewables industry. Aberdeen is a vibrant multi-cultural city with an array of fantastic hospitality, sport and leisure facilities with a very bright future, so whether you are a visitor looking for new attractions or a professional looking to make Aberdeen your home, we hope you see the best that Aberdeen has to offer in the OGV Energy Guide to Aberdeen!
