    Hibs and hearts are both bigger clubs than Aberdeen.there shouldn't be a time when Aberdeen could beat us to any player. Him coming to us makes perfect sense.

    Silly stuff really.

    Aberdeen benefit hugely from being the only top flight club in that city, a relatively wealthy city with a large catchment area.

    Aye but they call it Murrayfield farm foods.
    In Budge speak, they are world class enhanced consumptive opportunities.

    4 years at Uni and a year working afterwards.

    I loved my time there, and it certainly does have a soul.

    I suppose it’s matter of opinions. The granite is dull grey and that does not help. However, they do make a big deal of how it sparkles in the rain, and it does.

    Old Aberdeen is beautiful and there is lots of great Scottish history in both parts as well as the surrounding area. Two great salmon rivers is a bonus and lots of wildlife on and off the coast, whilst the history and architecture of the Aberdeenshire are is fabulous. Then, of course there have been the years of prosperity, bringing diverse people to the city for work.

    It’s sad that there is also a significant divide between the haves and have nots but that’s true of every city. I do feel it is exaggerated because of the oil wealthy incomes and successful locals.

    On balance, I agree with those saying Aberdeen City is dull. The saving grace is what surrounds it.

    If you are lucky enough to have been born and brought up in Edinburgh then you probably aren’t impressed by other Scottish cities.

    I know that’s certainly the case for me. Dull is a fair summary of Aberdeen imo.

    Aberdeenshire, the area around the City is very nice and largely unvisited.

    I'm born and raised in the NE and I always found Aberdeen a depressing and dreary place. Edinburgh on the other hand, after all of the travelling I've done in my lifetime, remains my favourite city in the world to this day.

    Because everything is made out of granite stone when it rains Aberdeen looks very much like a dull uninspiring place to me.

    I get the reverse. When it rains the granite sparkles and looks good. It’s when it’s dry it’s as dull as dishwater.
    Perceptions eh?

    I agree. Amazing countryside with a vast amount of prehistoric sites, as well as castles. It's not too touristy and has lots of great walks, costal and inland.

    Plenty of sheep running around, for those inclined to that kind of thing. Some bonnie belters of the Yow can be found.

    The slow realisation that the council will never be buying them a nice shiny new stadium and they will have to spend multiple millions to fix the *****hole that is pittodrie. A chain around their neck for the next 2 decades at least.

    Lived in Aberdeen for 6 years before moving back home to Edinburgh.

    Whilst I agree with a poster above that, similarly, I have seen many cities around the world and Edinburgh is absolutely one of the best all-rounders in my opinion, I do think Aberdeen gets a hard rep. The countryside around the city is absolutely glorious and the city still has some great wee pockets like Old Aberdeen, Belmont Street, Hazelhead Park, Duthie Park, the West End etc. I just think it’s very easy for Edinburghers to judge, living in a city which consistently is rated highly in global quality of life indexes etc.

    Give me Aberdeen over Glasgow any day though.
