E&M's Closing Down Sale
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 Most of the old double-deck buses have now been replaced by "bendy-buses" like this one on the Red Line to the Bridge of Don housing estates.

Provost Ross' House
One of the oldest houses in Aberdeen this dates from 1593. It was in a sorry state by the 1950s and was threatened with demolition. Fortunately it was restored by the National Trust For Scotland in 1954.
Sadly the view looking in the other direction, towards the Town House, that can be seen in Colin Smith's 1990 photograph has been ruined by the unwelcome addition of a grotesque eyesore of a cinema. This shabby building, constructed in 2000, now obscures much of the view of the splendid baronial town house.
