Answer 2

The name Abernethy is an extremely potent name in Scottish history. Here was an ancient Pictish capital, and then an ecclesiastical metropolis of the Celtic Church of the Culdees, before St Andrews, conveniently near to Scone, the one-time Royal centre of government only 8 miles away across the River Tay, as the crow flies. Indeed even before that, Abernethy was important, with a Pictish and also Roman fort, port and baths, at Garpow just to the north.

floral capital of scotland
Aberdeen is a city renowned for its horticultural splendour.

From the early glories of the huge banks of crocuses and daffodils which herald the arrival of spring along the River Dee to the formal rose gardens in Hazlehead Park and the wildlife havens in its nature reserves, Aberdeen is a City in Bloom. Its reputation as floral capital of Scotland has spread throughout the world – through word of mouth by our visitors and from the city’s involvement in national and international competitions.
