Discover Aberdeen
Aberdeen is a granite city on the north east coast of Scotland, long known as the UK's energy capital. Oil and gas remain central, with a growing offshore wind sector, and the harbour and energy offices around the city centre keep activity high year round. Union Street, the beachfront and Old Aberdeen give the city character, and Dyce, Altens and Bridge of Don are among the surrounding areas. People need to be in Aberdeen for energy sector work and projects across the north east. Mainline rail serves the city, the station is close to the harbour and Union Street, and the A90 and A96 give road access. The area offers a good range of shops, restaurants and everyday services close to where people are working. WJO Property sources fully furnished accommodation around Aberdeen and handles the whole search through one point of contact.
