Despite police ruling it non-suspicious, the mystery of how he got there remains unsolved, with no clear answers on his journey from Liverpool to the A90, or why he ended up in the water.

Aberdeen is poised to win a record-breaking thirteenth UK Purple Flag award for its vibrant, safe nighttime economy — the only Scottish city to achieve this honor. Through bold collaborations with Police Scotland and local businesses, the city has slashed nighttime crime and launched initiatives like the Street Pastors program and new Aberdeen Ambassadors to boost safety and visitor experience. Major events like the Tall Ships Races and winter Spectra draws have pumped millions into the local economy, while pandemic-era innovations — including free late-night transport and extended licenses — continue to work seamlessly. With the final decision looming, Aberdeen’s nightlife is proving it’s not just fun — it’s foundational to the city’s prosperity.

Royal Mail hit a snafu in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire on August 13th, delaying mail for key postcodes across the city — from the center to Torry, Cove, and even Ballater. While staff shortages, illness, or local disruptions are common culprits, the company apologized and rolled out extra support to restore normal six-day delivery. It’s a reminder that even with modern systems, human factors can still slow things down — and sometimes, you just have to wait a bit longer for your mail.

Snacking on crisps? Think twice before tossing those bags—most can’t be recycled in your regular bin. Same goes for handheld fans packed with batteries, which need special e-waste recycling to avoid dangerous fires. Plastic bottles? Rinse them and recycle if you can. Ice cream tubs and juice cartons? Check with your local council—they often need to be clean and empty. Mixed materials, electronics, and food residue are the top culprits sabotaging recycling. A quick local check can make a big difference for the planet.

Aberdeen city council is set to vote on approving a £10 million Lidl supermarket in Bridge of Don, replacing a former Baker Hughes site and bringing new jobs, a cafe, and electric car chargers — with nearly 60 local letters of support. While residents cheer for affordable shopping and economic boost, the Bridge of Don Community Council warns of potential traffic woes on Woodside Road. Officials say traffic impact won’t be significant and developers have agreed to adjust the site layout to ease concerns.
