Not much to smile about for Aberdeen's grandest department store, Esslemont and Macintosh, which is selling off its stock prior to closure. The store on Union Street is in two granite blocks, connected by a walkway. The western block was designed by RG Wilson in 1897 and the eastern block by Ellis & Wilson. Most of the old double-deck buses have now been replaced by "bendy-buses" like this one on the Red Line to the Bridge of Don housing estates.
