4. Aberdeen
Aberdeen is built of granite, and on a bright day after rain the whole city glitters, because the mica in the stone catches the light. On a grey day it is simply grey, which is what the rest of Scotland likes to say about it. Nearly two hundred thousand people live here, between the mouths of the rivers Dee and Don, on a cold North Sea coast that has made its living from fish, then ships, then oil. The harbour is still busy with supply vessels, and the title of oil capital of Europe has stuck for half a century.
