Cemetery lodges, St Peter's Cemetery, King Street
Thought to date from about 1824 and B-listed: Link , when the commercial cemetery was set up by the Moir of Scotstoun family: their rather ominous skull and cross bones crest still adorns the iron gates. The round nodule things on the corners of the roof are called acroters.

Moir of Scotstoun crest, St Peter's Cemetery, King Street
The ominous crest of Moir of Scotstoun (who once owned the land) on the gates of St Peter's Cemetery on King Street; compare: Link . The motto means "not for self but for all".
High Street, Old Aberdeen
The building in the centre is the "Confucius Institute" set up to facilitate cooperation between the University of Aberdeen and China. Could the yellow "88" on the left-hand building be a fire insurance mark?
Beach at Aberdeen
Viewed from below the Esplanade. There are groynes spread along the beach. View towards the lighthouses at the entrance to the harbour.
Marischal College, Aberdeen
This fine granite building was appropriately still home to Aberdeen University's Geology Department when this photograph was taken in 1979.
Victorian parlour, Provost Skene's House
Complete with Aspidistra, as seen in 1979.
