See: Thanks to over 1100 years of history, a thriving port and booming oil industry, a surprisingly unspoilt beach and one of Scotland's oldest seats of learning, the grey but glinting 'Granite City' of Aberdeen has plenty to lure visitors north of the Central Scotland. The city is rightly proud of its cultural clout and offers plenty of intriguing museums, many of a specialist bent.

One of the most visited is the 16^th century built Provost Skene's House, which with a series of period rooms shows daily life from the 17^th to 19^th centuries and a rotating display of dress through the ages in its Costume Gallery.

For those after a little more derring-do, the Gordon Highlanders Museum tells the story of one of the British Army's most famous and fearsome regiments, while further out you can find museums dedicated to everything from dolls houses to lighthouses.

The airy and elegantly built Aberdeen Art Gallery has significant fine art collections from the 1850s until the present day, with works spanning from Hogarth to Damien Hirst. There are large collections of portraits, of the works of water colourist David Allan and interesting curios in the extensive applied arts section, such as a collection of 19^th century jewellery designed to be worn by mourners and contemporary metalwork.

For something with a more contemporary edge, across the full spectrum of the arts, shake a tail feather down to Peacock Visual Arts. This gallery hosts a thought provoking range of events, from printmaking and film screenings to avant garde music evenings,  alongside a rolling programme of exhibitions, workshops and classes.

Satrosphere Science Centre is Scotland first science and discovery centre with no shortage of fun, hands-on exhibits which interpret the world and its workings for curious learners of all ages.

Shop: The main shopping streets are along the 'Granite Mile' of Union Street and George Street while the Galleria and Academy Shopping Centre are worth exploring for their designer boutiques such as AB10 and Attic. There's also Ottakers, an excellent bookshop over two floors and Books and Beans, a hybrid sandwich bar and second hand bookshop. Early birds will get the catch of the day at the Fish Market, open from 4am until 7.30am at Albert Basin on the harbour.

Eat: The city's fishing industry means there's always a ready supply of the freshest gills on the menu.

 The Silver Darling (a euphemism for herring) is set in an attractive former customs house on the shore and specialises in local seafood. Gourmet dishes there include roast monkfish with grilled chorizo and ratatouille purée.

Fancy a culinary challenge? Posh chippy the Ashvale Fish Restaurant invites you to try its Ashvale Whale for size, a one pound battered haddock. Those who tame the beast get a free dessert for their troubles.

For sophisticated, modern Indian cuisine, whet your palette at Cinnamon. Authentic dishes on the menu in this smart, rising star include Bombay street food of Bataada Wwada, mashed potatoes subtly spiced and shallow fried in batter.

Drink: Ma Cameron's is a good, old fashioned, friendly boozer with a loyal clientèle, great wine list and even a small roof terrace for those rare evenings when the wind's died down.

Although a little out of town, the Lairhillock Inn is well worth the journey up the road to Banchory. If this 200 hundred year-old coaching inn with a smoky log fire and candle-lit conservatory does not  lull you into staying a while you may be beyond saving!

By contrast hip, young beer slingers Brewdog have recently opened a bar in town, a cool enough locale for those who find themselves somewhere in between old men's pubs and the more up-for-it, 'yoof' and student bars, where you can sample all of its many canny craft creations.

Stay: For a home away from home experience, Skene House offer great value serviced apartments in the heart of the city. Malmaisonhasall the hallmarks of a genuine boutique hotel chain,and its stylish Aberdeen hotel is no exception, with indulgent rooms bedecked with tartan and velvet flourishes and a cosy whisky snug bar. Elsewhere you'll find spacious rooms and traditional comforts at the five star Millenium Copthorne, on the quieter, west side of the city.

Walk: For a morning constitutional combining nature and city sights, stroll the full length of the seafront, past the long, sandy beach, then cross Brig o'Balgownie, one of the oldest bridges in Scotland and  follow the river Don and the wonderfully wooded Braes of Don, before passing St Machar's Cathedral and into Aberdeen’s Old Town, along cobbled streets and past the ancient buildings of the University. Carry on the High Street and into King Street and you'll eventually come to Pittordrie, the home of Aberdeen Football Club.

Get out: The spiritual community and eco village of Findhorn, an hour's train ride from Aberdeen, should make for an interesting visit. You can spend day there, meditating, learning about their unique outlook and getting involved with community projects for £16, including both lunch and dinner.

If the other kind of spirits are more to your liking, then there are some 16 whisky distilleries on the Speyside whisky trail showcasing some of the world's finest malts, including Gleniddich, Macallan and Cardhu.

Listen: The city's musical heritage is diverse, taking in Annie Lennox, Sandi Thom, the Shamen and classical percussionist Evelyn Glennie. There are some iconic venues still going strong, such as the legendary indie cellar the Lemon Tree , diner-cum-music hub Cafe Drummond and the Tunnels, a newer venue with an unusual, intimate subterranean setting, perfect for watching upcoming bands and club nights.

Avoid: While not especially notorious, Seaton Park is unlit at night, so it's best to cross it in a group if you can. It may also be wise to avoid using the local greeting 'fit like?' (meaning 'are you well?) unless you have a half decent mastery of the Aberdonian brogue!
