Though Aberdeen wears a cosmopolitan air as a service base for the offshore oil and gas developments, it has another important role as a centre for rural Aberdeenshire, and offers a wide choice of shopping facilities.
There are at least six indoor shopping malls or centres, including the St. Nicholas and Bon-Accord Centres, but also more traditional shopping streets, around the west end of Union Street.
In addition, Aberdeen’s Pubs and restaurants take many themes and embrace a range of cuisine, from traditional Scottish to eastern and exotic. |
