Old cottages in Torry
The best preserved of the few squares of fishermen's cottages still remaining in Torry. Much of the old fishing village was torn down to make way for new port installations during the oil boom.

West Leading Light
The leading lights were erected in 1842. A ship approaching the harbour steers until the two lights appear one above the other, and as long as it maintains that course it is guided into the safe channel. I imagine that they are now no longer required, with all the navigational technology now available. Image]

Leading Light and Torry
The eastern leading light seen here is one of two lights which, when aligned by line of sight, guide ships through the Aberdeen harbour channel. In front of the light is the oil support vessel, "Highland Prestige". Behind the light are houses along Sinclair Road, Abbey Road and Victoria Road in Torry.
