Aberdeen has the most expensive taxis in all of Europe. Where you can use the Jet bus, it is cheaper.

Finally - 8 hours later, 4 trains and a bus i can get some sleep. 

And to be honest this is an easy journey. I spent 4 years where i had a train, 5 hours international flight, taxi and then a boat to get to the platform.
