A toast is a short speech or statement made in honour of someone or something, typically during a social gathering or celebration. After the speech, participants raise their glasses and drink together to show appreciation or good wishes for the person or occasion being celebrated.Aberdeen is a city in northeast Scotland, located on the North Sea coast. It is the third-largest city in Scotland, with a population of approximately 200,000.
Known as the "Granite City" due to its grey stone buildings, Aberdeen is a major centre for the North Sea oil and gas industry.
The city is home to two universities: the University of Aberdeen, founded in 1495, and Robert Gordon University.
Aberdeen has a maritime climate, with cool summers and mild winters, and its economy is also supported by fishing, agriculture, and technology industries.
Aberdeen has won the Britain in Bloom competition a record-breaking ten times and in 2012 Mercer named Aberdeen the 56th most liveable city in the World, as well as the fourth most liveable city in Britain.
