There has been a human presence in the area of Aberdeen since the Stone Age. Aberdeen as a city, grew up as two separate burghs: Old Aberdeen, the university and cathedral settlement, at the mouth of the River Don; and New Aberdeen, a fishing and trading settlement where the Denburn entered the Dee estuary. ==Pre-1136== Aberdeen was first settled by hunter-gatherers around 6000 BC, who established themselves around the mouths of the river Dee and river Don. Around 2000 BC the Beaker People, who built the mysterious stone circles that can be found in the Aberdeenshire area,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Welcome to Aberdeen )〕 arrived from the Rhine lands. 400 BC saw Celtic migration to the area from the north of Scotland.〔 The Romans arrived in Aberdeenshire in the first century AD.〔 Agricola, the Roman governor of Britannia, led a force of some 40,000 men into Caledonia in 84 AD. They fought and defeated the united armies of the Picts in the Battle of Mons Graupius, near the peak of Bennachie in Aberdeenshire.〔 After the Romans left, the natives of Aberdeenshire began to convert to Christianity.〔 Old Aberdeen's first church was built around 580. St Kentigern sent St Machar to convert the Picts to Christianity.〔〔 St Machar's Cathedral today is named after him. It became the official seat of the bishopric of Aberdeen.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「History of Aberdeen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
