Aberdeen Ferry Port Overview
Aberdeen is Scotland's third largest city, located around 120 miles northeast of Edinburgh, on the banks of the rivers Dee and Don. During the 18th-20th centuries, its buildings incorporated locally quarried grey granite, whose mica deposits sparkled like silver. That's why Aberdeen is often called the Granite City or the Silver City. Aberdeen Harbour is one of the busiest in Great Britain and it's also the principal commercial port for the North East of Scotland.
Handling around 5 million tonnes of cargo and over 9,000 visiting ships a year, Aberdeen Ferry Port is a world class port with versatile facilities, competitive charges and diversity of traffic.
It is also the centre of activity for the offshore oil and gas industry's marine support operations in North-West Europe, as well as the primary mainland port for passenger, vehicle, freight and livestock services to Orkney and Shetland islands.
If you are catching a ferry from Aberdeen, make sure you go and see the Marischal College on Broad Street, which is the second largest granite building in the world (after the Escorial in Madrid, Spain).
Aberdeen hosts the Aberdeen International Youth Festival, the world's leading Festival of Youth Arts, and one of Scotland's major international cultural events, which gathers every year the most talented young performing arts companies from across the globe.
Aberdeen is also famous for its two Universities. The University of Aberdeen, which was founded in 1495, and the Robert Gordon University make Aberdeen the educational centre of the north-east.
