In the 12th century, the city received Royal burgh status by David 1st of Scotland, which changed the economy drastically, and the improvements can be seen to this day. There are two great universities you can visit, and walk around the Old Town. If you decide to inspect Aberdeen’s gardens more closely, we suggest going to Duthie Park!
