The city started as two separate burghs: Old Aberdeen at the mouth of the stream Don; and New Aberdeen, an angling and exchanging settlement, where the Denburn conduit entered the waterway Dee estuary. The most punctual sanction was conceded by William the Lion in 1179 and affirmed the corporate rights allowed by David I. In 1319, the Great Charter of Robert the Bruce changed Aberdeen into a property-owning and fiscally autonomous group. Allowed with it was the close-by Forest of Stocket, whose salary framed the premise for the city's Common Good Fund which in any case advantages Aberdonians.

The little measure of geophysics done, and infrequent building-related exposures, consolidated with little exposures in the banks of the River Don, propose that it is really sited on an inlier of Devonian "Old Red" sandstones and residues. The edges of the city spread past the (derived) furthest reaches of the exception onto the encompassing transformative/molten buildings shaped amid the Dalradian period (roughly 480–600 million years prior) with sporadic zones of volcanic Diorite stones to be found, for example, that at the Rubislaw quarry which was utilized to fabricate a significant part of the Victorian parts of the city.

 On the coast, Aberdeen has a long sand shoreline between the two streams, the Dee and the Don, which transforms into high sand ridges north of the Don extending similarly as Fraserburgh; toward the south of the Dee are steep rough precipice faces with just minor rock and shingle shorelines in profound deltas. Various stone outcrops along the south drift have been quarried before, making for terrific view and great rock-climbing.

 The city stretches out to 184.46 km2 (71.22 sq mi) and incorporates the previous burghs of Old Aberdeen, New Aberdeen, Woodside and the Royal Burgh of Torry toward the south of RiverDee. In 2011 this gave the city a populace thickness of 1,169/km2.
