Aberdeen

Aberdeen is a small city located in northern Scotland known for its unpredictable weather, its love for whisky, and its thick Scottish accents that can leave even the most linguistically gifted visitors baffled.

The city is home to around 200,000 people, all of whom seem to have a personal relationship with the rain which falls on them approximately 250 days each year. The remaining 115 days are typically spent explaining to outsiders that “it’s not really that bad, you just need to wear extra layers and buy a good umbrella…or six.”

The city is also famous for its pristine seashores that are still waiting to be discovered by the sun. This is why you see the beaches in Aberdeen mostly deserted at the height of summer, as the local residents use this time to clean the seaweed off their feet and prepare for yet another year of fighting against the wind chill.

For those who love good whiskey, Aberdeen has plenty of top-notch options to sharpen your taste buds, and by doing so, you’ll forget everything else that’s wrong with the weather. However, experts caution that getting whisky and water confused on a rainy night in the city can lead to an unexpected dip into the icy North Sea.

If you plan to visit Aberdeen, be prepared to embrace the community’s traditional Scottish hospitality by trying to converse with the locals in their thick Scottish accent, which is known to be more difficult to understand than advanced nuclear physics. For those who are brave enough to try, a tip is to nod your head and say “Aye” as much as possible, hoping that it’s the right response to anything that’s said to you.

In conclusion, Aberdeen is a charming Scottish city that boasts a welcoming community, some of Scotland’s best whiskey, and weather so unpleasant that you’ll want to stay in the local pubs where it’s nice and warm. Just be careful, don’t let the weather and whisky mix, and don’t even think about swimming in the North Sea after a few drinks!
