Ah so then at least aberdeen does have ONE claim to fame at least. Gordon Ramsay's cousin working in that burger bar, I mean.
Aberdeen's the biggest village in Scotland. Nothing has ever happened there. Just read any book of Scottish History, and you will see that Aberdeen has hardly merited a mention in the last 1000 years. It is a big DUMP.
