Photos taken during a weekend excursion to Scotland by special train, including off train options.
Views of Union Terrace, Aberdeen. Looking south-west from the Union Terrace Gardens, which were completely restructured between 2019 and reopening on 22 December 2022.
The original sunken gardens dated from 1879 and were (and are) bounded on the west by Union Terrace, seen here supported by the arches, and by the Den Burn to the east, although that is now underground and supplanted by a railway and by the Den Burn dual-carriageway.
On the north side is Rosemount Viaduct, noted for the three adjacent buildings known as Education, Salvation and Damnation, the city library, St Marks Church and His Majesty's Theatre.
