Esslemont Avenue
Even the parked cars and the serried ranks of satellite dishes do not distract the eye from the unity of this whole street of silver-grey granite tenements.

Satellite Dishes
And to think we used to think bristling television aerials on roofs were unsightly!

Rosemount Primary School
Now the Rosemount Community Education Centre, this school by James Souttar dates from 1883-1884 and is Category B Listed. See http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB20091 for details. Part of it is now in use as a police station, but for how much longer, as police stations become ever scarcer?

The Queen Vic, Rosemount, Aberdeen
An unusual "English pub" (rather than Scottish bar) style tavern. It serves real ale, which is a rarity in Aberdeen.

Rosemount Church RIP
Built ca. 1870 and originally Rutherford Free Church. It was named after Samuel Rutherford, the 17th Century theologian, who was "banished" to Aberdeen for his nonconformity. He is probably no longer a household name, but thank goodness for Google: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Rutherford . It fell out of use in the 1990s.
