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.

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.

Ruthrieston Bridge
The hump-backed bridge over the Ruthrieston Burn was built in 1693, possibly succeeding an earlier bridge. It was moved 35 yards east in 1923, and re-erected. See http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB20071 for details. The burn flows into the River Dee.
