The credit crunch has placed unwelcome restrictions on the traditional holiday jaunts that usually take place over the happy summer months of June, July and August. This year, many people are finding that the expendable income usually used on summer holidays simply is not there to be spent at the moment. As they say, however, a change is as good as a rest, and you need not venture abroad to feel refreshed as long as you change your scenery somehow.

Those who like to keep active on holiday are sure to be impressed by the range of watersports available in Aberdeen. From surfing to jetskiing, there are all kinds of sporting facilities available that are sure get your heart beating and the adrenaline flowing.

Aberdeen is also a great place in which to catch a spot of live music. Recently added to its already eclectic range of venues, Moshulu is a chic place to sit back and chill out for a few hours.
