Elegantly seated between the Rivers Dee and Don, the Granite City of Aberdeen sparkles in the sun. Our region is internationally renowned for its traditional singers and musicians, its unmatched legacy of traditional balladry, and the global impact of its whisky, fishing, granite, and oil industries. Scotland’s third largest city is also one of the most diverse in Britain, with roughly one in five residents coming from across the world. Join us at SIEF2025 for a journey from culture to castles, from working life to spectacular coastlines and mountains, from neolithic stone circles to the contemporary arts!
