Hiya,
I married an Aberdonian & dragged him back down to Lanarkshire with me !  :o
We spent 5 years in the Pitmedden / Fyvie area - gorgeous part of the world - definately god's own country up there. But I miss the proper winters being down here, never had livestock to deal with in Aberdeen though - so dare say I'd be less keen if that had been the case.
Look forward to hearing about your exploits !
