Former College Building, Aberdeen, Scotland
This evening, I am in Aberdeen, N.E. Scotland in readiness for a Speyside Whisky tour tomorrow. This city has some fascinating church and civic architecture, as evidenced by the images above and below.
I took the opportunity to spend the evening walking around the city and harbour taking photographs in the evening sunshine.
Aberdeen is known as the ‘Granite City’ because of the type of stone of which most properties here are constructed.
Although originally a small fishing village many years ago Aberdeen has prospered in line with growth of the North Sea oil industry in which the city plays a key role in the service/support sector.
