  • I'm Canadian but this looks like a really nice place, nice video man

  • you missed the junkies and winers in the grave yard good video though

  • Your spelled 'Harbour' wrongly

  • @TarteTartan Words are often spelt differently in the UK and USA. At times there are words used in Scotland that are spelt differently and or are not seen or heard in other "English" speakingh countries. There are differences in the spellings of words in the North, the Southj, and Islands as well as the Hebrides.

    How ever it is customary to be proficient at a task/subject before one calls attention to the errs of others. YouR spelled Harbour" WRONGLY One says, you misspelt harbour,

  • @ScottishShorts 'Aberdeen Harbour' is a proper name, as in 'Pearl Harbor' inUS English. As to the rest of your posting, I'm going to put it down to typos, rather than 'misspelt' words, or as we call them in Scotland 'misspelled' or normally in all UK we say 'wrongly spelled'. You really shouldn't argue points of English with a Scot - we were the first country to adopt English as our national language. We only changed the name to 'Scots' when England adopted English as THEIR national language.

  • @ScottishShortst I see I did indeed write 'Your', rather than 'You'. A typo, as I generously allowed your reply to me, ie, I assume your quote 'How ever it is customary to be proficient at a task/subject before one calls attention to the errs of others.' is a typo. If not it is illiterate as well as rude.

    However, 'Aberdeen Harbour' is spelled that way no matter how north, south, east or west you go in the British Isles, because that is what the City of Aberdeen say it is.

  • @TarteTartan Neither rood or eeli erate, just a wee laugh for me on a very slow morning. Sorry if you felt that. But in Scotland we spell where a ship docks "harbour", in America it is harbor, take your pick. As for the English language, my ancestors, as myself, spoke English, as they did French, Latin, Greek etc., as a second or third or such language. If the spelling bothers you to the extent you have to comment on that only, well don't look. It's not worth all the worry. Smile be happy.

  • @ScottishShorts Well, must confess I'm a hypocrite, because actually I DO spell Pearl Harbor with a U, tho' I know it's wrong. Can't abide the word spelled without it, apart from anything else, we Brits pronounce it 'harbur'.

    BTW, did like your video, brought back happy memories of old stomping ground.

  • @TarteTartan "We Brits" have more accents and dialects than Wullie's got buckets. Every wee village in Scotland has its own dialect. Listen to Glasgow, Edinburgh, (both Princess St. then Leith Walk), Inverness, up the hill and doon the long mu-un, Nobody understands my cousins in Aberdeen. Then to the Islands and Highlands the Orkneys,. Shetlands etc. That's just a few of We Brits in Scotland. Then there is England, Wales and Ireland and all their dialects.

  • Terrible Video, Terrible Music.

  • @noelmasson Subjective viewing results in some liking and some disliking. You will notice that every appliance has an ON and an OFF switch, and many have a channel switch, You are not forced to view any of the films on this or any station. So if you don't like them either explain why, which may be somewhat constructive at times or at least lead to a dialouge, or quietly fade away.

  • @ScottishShorts Fair point! Yes, the video doesn't do the city justice at all. Where are all the lovely parks, industries and architecture? This is just basically Union Street area with traffic and shoppers. It's pretty boring really. The video quality is washed out and grainy, the music is depressing - never very upbeat at all.

  • @noelmasson Park scenes etc., are not shown. This will be corrected. Our intention is to support and promote all things Scottish, especially the smaller businesses and musical groups, artists etc., who are so often over looked for promotion, we do it free of charge. We accept no donations and no Government funding so being a working couple our resources are low. This year we will be on US, CAN, AU, TV, and others. I will try and get the other scenes on, with upbeat music. Thanks for the rep

  • Welcome to chouktas cheep shagers land,what a fucking backward mentality and country bumpkin people, what a grey depressed place,abordonians really country bumpkins trust me

  • what's the song?

    @ScottishShorts -

    have you read any of Diane Morgan's work? I recommend the book 'Lost Aberdeen'. Really interesting. It is part of a series of books about lost architectural heritage. There are other titles: Lost Dundee, Lost Glasgow, Lost Edinburgh. Worth a read. Also search 'Aberdeen Civic Forum'. Lots of positive stuff happening. We can ignore the needless negativity displayed by many who have left comments.

  • @fionndan The 'needless negativity' is well deserved.  This video is awful!

  • im moving away from aberdeen as soon as i can

  • Aye Harry getting over the fear of elevators will certainly give you a lift.

    Dave

  • Look, I live there and its awesome, exept for the fact that there are alot of fat people and the shopping centers are FULL of elevators (Lifts) and Im terrified of them , but, I guess I have to fight my fear of elevators some day, and aberdeen is the place to do that :P

    ~Harry

  • Ladies and Gentlemen I have observed in my travels that about 10% of any population are dorks. You are seeing ours here. These are children, being naughty. An adult, even an iliterate one, does not use this language. I would hate to think any Scot would present this behaviour to the world.

    BTW Busses, planes, trains and ferries depart hourly.

  • I used to live in aberdeen.14 fucking miss spend years there.the place is a shite hole.and every cunt is on drugs there,cause most of the people from aberdeen would like to get a 1 way ticket out of there.The best place to go is the airport.

  • aberdeen punches weel above its weight. look at the equivalent irish, welsh and english cities of comparable size - they have nowhere near the facilities that aberdeen has. it does lack things to do for young people i think and i do not think it had the 'je ne sais quoi' that glasgow and edinburgh have. but it can be improved, easily. for a start they planning dept of the cooncil need to get a fuckin grip and stop building shite horrible buildings.

  • Must be market day, no sheep on the streets.

  • Moving their from Aus next week. Dad works for Chevron - as a corporate lawyer or marketing guy i think. Can't wait! It will be awesome living in Europe!

  • what a horrible video, in no way represents the city Aberdeen.

  • @alimacdee If you expect a single 9 minute video to represent anything I am afraid you are in for a great deal of disappointment.

  • WTF every 1 calls us anti english but look at some of the comments the english have left the english are giving us the reason to be anti english personally i have no problem with english ( well not the one's who start there shit like that IHATEJAMIEREDKNAPP person )

  • crap video. if you are going to make a video at least try and make it contempary. Music terrible and footage is boring. its praticaly taken from the same st. I can assure anybody Aberdeen is a much more vibrant alive place than this video shows. it has 2 uni's and a good night life. none of which is shown here

  • well said

  • @ronyeats Thanks for the comments. As explained, these are small bits from much longer films presented on commercial and free educational DVD and TV stations. Perhaps the film is boring to you because you know the area. If you can get us some film of other areas of Aberdeen we would be most grateful. Our budget is very small. Perhaps you could show us some of your film. We are here to learn.

  • I'm not Scottish ...... love Aberdeen and its people ..... the kindest warmhearted bunch of people I've met in teh whole of the UK .... and that specially includes England!!

  • full of country bumpkins

  • Its a dreadfully bigoted place, full of Anti-English racists, but if that floats your boat then Aberdeen's your city. No one in Scotland likes Aberdonians either, mean cold people.

  • Thanks for that. I didn't realise that you knew every single person in aberdeen and that we are all racist? We are all 'mean, cold people' arent we? i've grown up in Aberdeen all my life, i like the english (the nice ones anyway!)

    Don't judge a book by the cover.....

    I will happily give you a tour of the city if you don't believe me?

  • aberdeen is dump as whole scotland ,but i like cars in it

  • good point.................. and even better english! now get off the computer, your mums shouting for you, its a school day tomorrow.

  • We request that anyone under the age of 12 not view nor respond to our pages withoutparental supervision and permission..

    Thank you

  • What a shite looking city.

  • bluebus, we can all chip in for a megabus ticket if it helps ya. your constant posting re english hating racists on all aberdeen vids leads me to believe your jobs sheite, the girlfriend has fucked off and your having trouble getting laid at the priory every saturday due to your annoying leeds accent.

  • Great ,when can we expect your first video? It is nice to see someone ready to solve a problem.

  • the maker of this video is obviously a complete doosh!

    i hope they weren't paid for making it cos this video sucks!

    the picture is crap, the locations are crap and the way they move the camera round is crap!

    i could make a far better video myself and would do it for nothing

  • Aberdeen is one of Scotland's most beautiful city's, but this video was taking in grotty parts and during it's construction.

  • what a shxt hole

  • I moved to Aberdeen in 2005 after 26 years in Leeds, and it was the worst mistake of my life. The place is a shithole full of lard arsed racists. Can't wait to go home.

  • Aberdeen would even be better if it go rid of its council leaders,Kate Dean and Kevin Stewart, they have and are destroying it.

  • Loved the music, who was it?  Also impressed with the video!

  • Nice town :)

  • Aberdeen is bootiful!!!

    so why does it look like gash here??
