March Stone No. 58, Elmbank Terrace, Aberdeen
The March Stones mark the "Freedom Lands and Marches of Aberdeen." For their history, see the excellent guide produced by the City of Aberdeen: http://www.aberdeencity.gov.uk/web/files/LocalHistory/march_stones_01.pdf . There was a march (boundary) stone here in 1780 (long before housing was built), but the present stone dates from the 1920s. Most of the stones, including this one, are B-listed: http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/sc-20038-march-stone-no-58-in-front-garden-wall-of

Former Powis Church
Built 1895 at the converging junction of George Street and Causewayend as a chapel of ease for Old Machar Cathedral (St Machar's Cathedral) and elevated to full-parish status by the Court of Teinds (Tithes) in 1904. In its heyday it facilitated "aggressive evangelism" and open-air services in the surrounding working-class slums, now long demolished. Now converted to flats.

Shops + flats, George Street, Aberdeen
Shops with flats above at the very top end of George Street: a couple of independent computer shops and one of Aberdeen's less likely emporia, a marijuana paraphernalia store ("over 18s only"). It certainly results in less "crime and disorder" than the bars and nightclubs in the city centre. In terms of tags, I think we are still just about in the city centre rather than the suburbs.

Powis Place/Causewayend, Aberdeen
Powis Place, which changes name to Causewayend about half way down, was turned into a dual carriageway in the 1960s amid wholescale residential demolition. The former Powis Church (now flats) lurks behind the trees in the right foreground and the cupola of St Stephen's Church (originally Causewayend Free Church) is just visible in the background.

A sorry looking closed shop at the top of George Street. Above the street level shops are flats within traditional Aberdeen granite tenements.
