Men in kilts: video from the Aberdeen, Scotland Apple Store opening

its a brand new shopping centre, the biggest in the city and it was open on that day aswell

can't the scots do anything without that droney bagpipe sound ruining everything?

I was there. It looks great :D Nice an shiny with all the apple gear an shit. It also has the new magic mouse

To avoid confusion with the 10 or so "Aberdeen"s in the US?

Or too many people think Scotland is in England?

While I was in the queue to get in, another shopper on the other side of the barrier was confused as to why Apple had a long queue of people and no other shop did.

"Is everything half price here today or something?" he said.
"No", I replied, "it's just an Apple store."

The Next store opened today (as did the whole shopping centre) while the Apple queue was waiting outside. A ribbon was cut, balloons set off, cheers...but no one was waiting to get in.

I was there today too.

First 1000 people got a free t-shirt, there were quite a few keen on that.

lol, we don't ALL come at you with axes...just the people in front of the new mall opening (Supposedly entertainers but they looked freaky to me)

I was at the launch today. Really nice store and i might upload some pics later. And yes, i have a mac and i live in aberdeen but its great just as the launch of the new products to have a play first like the magic mouse.

Apple plans to "dominate" the European computer market? What a laugh! They are barely a player here in the US. In Europe they are a tiny slice of the market. Good luck "dominating".

Finally Aberdeen has an Apple store. Lots of money in this city - goos move by Apple :-)
