Union Terrace Gardens
Aberdeen's Union Terrace Gardens are threatened with redevelopment by ACSEF. The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland host this image - from 1869 by architect James Forbes Beattie - which shows the beginnings of the scheme we have enjoyed ever since.

Other Aberdeen is a broad church - discourse is welcome. You're welcome to disagree with us, but do be polite. We hate it when people aren't polite.
One thing we really hate is hostile or disingenuous trolling and so comments like that will be removed. Unless of course we can use Kung Fu to turn the hostile or trolling comment to our advantage or entertainment.
We'll also remove any comments which promote commercial concerns, we hate that too. Ian Jamieson - don't do that again. Your obsequious over-solicitousness is a dead give-away and shows you to be a lazy dishonest twat attempting to hide your true motivation. Actually - that's *very* Aberdeen.
Oh, and don't abuse the facility to comment anonymously, or we'll just remove it.
Am I the only one who thinks Aberdeen City looked much nicer in 1869 (including the surrounding areas (pre-Union Street bridge) than now?
ReplyDeleteOne only has to eastward at the raised area created at St Nicholas Street to see what the future of Union Terrace Gardens will become.
ReplyDeleteThat area is not maintained and is in a word 'grotty'
UTC is unique and adds a green aspect to a grey city centre.
