ABERDEEN is the 6TH largest city by population in the UK, outside England. What is the good and bad side of living here? This video answers the question.
At 3:31 the bridge you show is the "new" Bridge of Don, from 1830, rebuilt IIRC around 1923. The original Brig o' Don lies behind the camera, and is now known as Brig o' Balgownie and has a long (chequered, to say the least) history since Robert the Bruce ordered its construction back around 1320. A condensed version at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brig_o%27_Balgownie The island that is shown in the middle of the River Don has a beach where you can sometimes see seals sunbathing.
Born & bred Aberdonian here, the city centre has went downhill over the past 20 odd years, union street a once bustling thriving hot spot is now full of either vape, phone, bookies or empty shops. I agree that folk are are quite rude, go anywhere outside of the city and people are much more friendly.
Quite interesting,however the rainfall stat is completely wrong, Scotland has 8 cities and Aberdeen has the least rainfall of them all and by a considerably amount.
Your sound quality is a bit dodgy. Aberdeen is a beautiful city btw. Using an old black and white picture to illustrate that the city is grey is kinda cheating.

I really enjoyed this video - thanks! Also, a negative, Aberdeen seagulls.
Thanks for your kind comments - they are very much appreciated. Be sure to subscribe if you haven't already done so.
I`ve never found Aberdeen unfriendly. Quite the opposite, indeed. I think it can be culturally limited, however..

But... You can tell in the colour photos that it's grey as well. 😂
Looks a lot better from 100m up... can't see the boarded up shopfronts.
