My last day in Scotland was spent wandering through the streets and beach of Aberdeen. Aberdeen was a gray town, which shimmers in the sunlight from the granite buildings.
Here, I felt the bone-chilling waters of the North Sea, and saw wild dolphins playing at the mouth of a salmon river. I saw the third university built in the United Kingdom and, in general, felt the everyday life of a Scot.

| Graveyard - it is normal for kirks (churches) to have graveyards surrounding them. We learned that there is a legend that the entombed are protected from grave robbers and body snatchers when close to a church, as well as properly guided to the afterlife |
