Aberdeen

It is a lovely small town near north sea in Scotland. I happened to travel the same for work; this was a day trip. As any Scottish city, this too had highlandish roads, stone houses and high roofs and lively people (few that i met for sure :))..
While coming back taxi driver told me that this is one of the rich cities in England, as this is dominated by O&G.. he proudly mentioned that these firms do not impact the environment and have contributed to prosperity of the city.. Though he did mention that at some point Shipping and Fishing used to be the major driver of their economies which accoridng to him were more sustainable, but since the onset of oil exploration, these industries have moved their base.. All in all, an interesting day.. :)
