No problem mate but half my family are from the Aberdeen area as far as Montrose so they are my second club!

Aka shut up plebeians.
Aberdeen is only 42 miles from St Combs, NWHL is 579 miles from St Combs. Who's the irrelevant outpost now...... ;-)
Nice to see you’ve the Internet near the Broch. You’ll be a quick typist with all those fingers.Aberdeen is only 42 miles from St Combs, NWHL is 579 miles from St Combs. Who's the irrelevant outpost now...... ;-)
Never been to Aberdeen. Looks pretty enough based on pictures that I might pencil it in for whenever I do visit Scotland.
My Scottish friends are trying to force me to root for either Kilmarnock or Stenhousemuir in the football tho.

Much more of this cheek and I will get my brother, who's also my uncle to come after you....;-)
I can sympathise. From a moray Firth village of two streets and two families myself. Interesting family tree.
Aberdeen, in the third Saturday in July (the summer) can look glorious in the sun. Footdee (fittie) is pretty but the wind can be a major downer.
Aberdeen is ok in parts, same as any other city. It’s the surrounding 50 miles that’s nice. And it’s always freezing.
I'm from northern Sweden. The cold won't be an issue,
I am due to visit friends in Overtornea next summer - is it that bad? BTW the cold is not as bad as people think in the NE it is the wind, Always the wind.
It can be. But right now it seems to be around -1 Celsius that far up.
(I'm from the north but there's still almost a 2 day drive up to Övertårneå from where I was raised).
Summer up there can be lovely. Literally sun for 24 hours.
Perfect time to go hiking.
Alfie Conn?
At least 60% of it is, that’s fair. Maybe more now that nobody has a job anymore. Was there twice in the last week or so, my 3rd and 4th visit since February. Used to go four times a week. Place is a ghost town now.
I've only been there in recent times, once last Christmas and once again this October - the nearby areas were quite nice, took a drive up to the Glenfiddich (I think?) distillery which was in a lovely national park, the little towns like Inverurie were nice too.
As far as the city itself, I know it's called the granite city but it's just a grey and bleak area, every house looks the same and the general atmosphere/vibe was "it used to have loads of oil money, but not so much now"...
Good airport for a bit of planespotting though.

Falkirk gave us John White ‘The Ghost’!
Great player and saw him score at Leicester tragically killed by lightning!
Having extra digits would be the least of your problems if stayed in the Broch and surrounding area.
