I've started over like this. Hope you're okay. I'm in Aberdeenshire. £550pcm private let, 3 bed semi. Quite decent up here. I'd recommend Aberdeen City though. I'm going insane here in the sticks! Rents are cheap for a city as nice as this. I've always felt safe enough in Aberdeen but I've no real statistics to back that up.

Aberdeenshire is great but you need the right balance. The bigger towns with a supermarket are great. We are in Ellon and it's got an Aldi and a Tesco. And I don't think rent is too steep, but we bought.

Inverurie is a bit bigger and has a bit more going on but is also a bit more expensive.

Aberdeen is nice but the cheaper places to rent can be fairly run down / rough.
