Aberdeen is more than likely the snowiest city in Britain by days with snow on the ground, but its coastal position probably inhibits deep accumulations.
Out of Britain's larger cities, I would say Leeds, Sheffield or Bradford are the snowiest, since they are inland, at higher elevations, and exposed to snow from all directions (especially the North Sea but also frontal snowfall from the Atlantic), but it's all relative - they're not snowy at all, just snowy by comparison. Edinburgh is pretty pants for snow.
Aberdeen doesn't get much at all, neither does Edinburgh. West coast is generally wetter. The snow tends to be on the mountains but it isn't reliable like in Europe or North America, the UK's climate is just too temperate.

Probably similar to the amount of snow we get in the Pacific Northwest US. Their isn't much snow in winter until you get above 2000 feet elevation usually. Below that it's mostly rain.
