With the nights beginning to draw in, those looking for some more daylight hours might want to consider a trip to Aberdeen in the north of Scotland.

The city's historical centre, known as Old Aberdeen, comes complete with ancient cobbled streets and museums aplenty.

With three cathedrals, Aberdeen is worth a visit for anyone interested in the religious past of the region. An overwhelming abundance of granite across the city gives the buildings an interesting appearance, particularly if the weather takes a turn for the worse!

Meanwhile, a trip into the surrounding area may be popular with whisky lovers, as the area plays host to the world's only Malt Whisky Trail, which comprises of eight distilleries and a cooperage.

Covering some of the most famous Scotch producers, including Glefiddich, Glen Grant, Glen Moray and Glenlivet, a trip around the Speyside region can be informative, as well as inebriating and thoroughly enjoyable for those with a lust for the country.
