Thorngrove kiddies play area
This is one of seven children's playgrounds in the West End of Aberdeen that I visited in the course of an eighty minute dog walk. A sign nearby says that it and surrounding landscaped area is maintained by residents of the mini-estate which was built on the former site of the RGU school playing fields.
The seven are Rubislaw, Kepplestone, Johnston Gardens, Craigiebuckler, Airyhall, Craigielea and Thorngrove.

Kepplestone playground
The map is out of date with the College having been demolished and replaced by a large housing development with a mixture of flats and some very expensive detached houses. Positions are a guesstimate.

Telephone exchange, Thorngrove Avenue, Aberdeen
A date-stone on the other side of the building reads 1936 and has the GPO logo. As has been said many times before, Aberdeen granite sparkles in the sunshine, but can look a little dour under cloudy skies...

Shops, Viewfield Avenue, Aberdeen
A parade of small shops: from left-to-right; gift shop, bakery, beauty salon, letting agent. The building was maybe once a stable block or workshop.
