Aberdeen and the surrounding Grampian area has been voted one of the best places to make a life in Scotland. There is a charming balance between the cosmopolitan, internationally urban centre that is Aberdeen, memorably described as a city with the culture of a village, and the rural, outdoor lifestyle of the coastal and inland towns of Aberdeenshire and Moray.
