Ruthrieston Road, Aberdeen

South Anderson Drive
A quiet moment on the normally busy ring road around Aberdeen's western suburbs. The flats are Headland Court, built on the site of the old Donald's ice rink which was later used by Sutherland's Haulage. The blooming roses help Aberdeen to win many annual "Britain in Bloom" competitions.

South Anderson Drive
Ring road through the inner suburbs of Aberdeen, and soon to be quieter when the long-awaited Western Perimeter Road is finally built. Characteristic of the consistent winner of "Britain in Bloom" are the roadside roses.

Evening Rush Hour on the Ring Road
Aberdeen traffic suffered through not having a modern ring road to take the strain off the 1930s ring road which has now been engulfed by the westward advance of new housing estates. The traffic here is queuing on South Anderson Drive. Ahead is the Bridge of Dee bottleneck.
The situation was alleviated by the construction of the Aberdeen Western Perimeter Road (AWPR) which was finally opened from 2018.
