Edinburgh Medicine vs Aberdeen Medicine

I'm lucky enough to have received offers for medicine from the above two unis.
Can anyone give me some pros and cons for them both or even just one of them? It would help me a lot and I'd really appreciate it. Anything, even the small things will help with my decision.
Also if there are current students at these unis, what are your opinions of them?

Have you visited the universities? If you're still not sure another trip might be worth it if it's not far from you, just getting a sense of the atmosphere of the place can make you really feel like you WANT to be there or not.

SSCs: Student Selective Components (SSCs) aim to address some of the key, non-academic elements in medical education, such as establishing a foundation for lifelong learning. It can be on lots of topics such as tropical disease, reproduction and metabolism.
