Aberdeen Property Market
Aberdeen has one of Scotland's most striking skylines. It is nicknamed the Granite City for good reason: buildings such as Marishal College, His Majesty's Theatre and St Machar's Cathedral give the city its distinctive look. The heraldic ceiling in the cathedral dates from the 14th century, and the twin spires are a landmark of Old Aberdeen.
The University of Aberdeen is the UK's fifth oldest university and has a significant social and economic influence on the city. For the high concentration of overseas residents there is the International School of Aberdeen and the Total French School which means the rental market is strong in Aberdeen
