Famous old street descending from Castlegate to Aberdeen Harbour. This is the city's first flyover, being built on embankments and arches across Virginia Street. These Georgian houses are built of Loanhead granite - quarried in the Rosemount area. The blue ship in the distance is one of the "North Boats" which service Orkney and Shetland.
