Golden Square is a quiet corner of the city only a few yards north of Union Street. The houses here were originally built between 1810 and 1820 and the square was considered a highly desirable place to live for better-off Aberdonians. Since Edwardian times the buildings have largely become offices - mainly for professional firms. The spire belongs to St Mary's Catholic Cathedral.
