Torry Neighbourhood Centre, Oscar Road, Torry
Torry has been blighted by substance abuse more than most communities and this "one stop shop" (see: http://www.aberdeencity.gov.uk/xcc_NeighbourhoodDetail.asp?id=2593&ind=4&ind2=47&cat=2) is one response from the City of Aberdeen.

The old Torry Nursery School on Oscar Road
Closed about two years ago and currently used by the after school club but surely phased for demolition.

Torry United Free Kirk
Looking like late 19th century Gothic, but not built until 1932, designed by W E Gauld. This was deliberate; in 1929 most of the United Free Church was re-amalgamated with the Church of Scotland, but this congregation remained separate and wished to emphasise continuity with the past.

Grampian Place
Neat 20th century council housing with unusually decent-sized windows. It's amazing how effective a row of wheelie bins can be in spoiling the appearance of a street.

Primary School
The oldest part of the building is at the far end, dating from 1895. There are large 20th century additions. By 1938 the school had 1600 pupils, and is said to have been the biggest in Scotland at the time.
