City (pop., 1995 est.: 219,000) and commercial port on the North Sea, E Scotland. Situated at the mouths of the Dee and Don rivers, it is the chief port of N Scotland. It was a royal burgh from the 12th cent. and a Scottish royal residence in the 12th-14th cent.

From the 1970s Aberdeen developed rapidly as the principal British center of the North Sea oil industry and its associated service and supply industries. It is the headquarters for the administrative region of Grampian.
