Edinburgh or bust.
This is Aberdeen:

I have been to Peep Peep's bar, it's actually not too bad, and the harbour area has some of the smartest address. I went to a couple of wild cocaine parties there, back in the day, wall to wall babes...

Big Aggie... Can you understand what she is saying?
Aberdonian culture is all about making very noisy threats, which are rarely carried out, as well as pretending that one would defend one friends to the death, whereas in fact, the main aim is a pint of Carling, or a line of very poor quality cocaine...
Scotland is, however, a truly violent place.
Scottish people rarely do anything on their own. They are nearly always with friends, and seem to have no individual identity.
The law in Scotland essentially permits anyone to beat the fuck out of anyone else, because unless there are eye witnesses, the crime cannot be proven, which perhaps accounts for the sticky nature of Scottish social circles: Safety in numbers.
I know, because I beat the fuck out of someone in Scotland and got away with it, Scot-free.

BudzBar, Aberdeen. It's on Union Street, a mile of steely granite shops and offices which turns into a veritable war zone every weekend, with bodies hitting the tarmac and scantily clad, yet overweight tarts, wobbling their way up and down like so much spam ham.
I used to spend the occasional evening at BudzBar, when I had been chucked out of 'Drum' for 'falling asleep' (coming up on ecstacy and getting all drowsy :nod ) the only other dance venue at the time.
It must have been the last club in the universe to play Hard House music, a peculiarly British phenomenon, made listenable by the consumption of large quantities of MDMA (which is quite cheap in the UK) and rum.
There was a gay club called 'Foundation' in one of the many curious tunnels which run under the city, but the music policy was so bad, that only 17 year old lesbians and hen parties would actually go there.

So this is the reason why you must choose Edinburgh, if you must.
I did love Aberdeen, from the point of view of really getting to know the locals, but actually I woke up one day and realised that the only people I knew in the city, apart from my then girlfriend, were travellers of various types. They were the most fun and interesting people to know there, the rest of it was pure spam ham, marinaded in cheap vodka or bread-heads working in the oil industry.
Edinburgh, on the other hand is uttely fabulous.
