Aberdeen 260824 072011 2
Photos taken during a weekend excursion to Scotland by special train, including off train options.
Views of Aberdeen, including in 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, by the Den Burn to the east, although that is now underground and supplanted by a railway and by the Den Burn dual-carriageway, both of which can just about be seen in this photo.
Prominent on the left is one of the supports for the new step-free acccess to the gardens. To the right of this in the background is the 2016 The Point development, which includes the spire of the 1844 Triple Kirks, which went out of religious use in 1972.
