Versatile Steel Works
On North Street, Inverurie.
The site looks a bit deserted, but google says they are (or were) Steel Fabricators and Erectors.
Plans to build 49 flats on this site in 2009 were rejected.

Burghmuir Drive
The junction of Burghmuir Drive and North Street is controlled by a very busy roundabout with traffic for the A96 directed up the drive.
Much of the housing results from the Aberdeen oil boom of the second half of the 20th century.

Old milestone
Many of the original routes spreading out from the city of Aberdeen to other important towns have been changed and upgraded over the years. This 17 mile single-bevelled granite stone is now on the unclassified North Street from which it is still possible to follow a route towards Huntly, Keith and the Moray Firth. Another stone in this Grid Square is one of the rare double-bevelled stones giving mileages to Inverurie (In 1) and Aberdeen (Ab 17).

Church of the Immaculate Conception, North Street, Inverurie
Built 1852, to mark the return of official Catholic worship to the town for the first time since the Reformation: we see the west gable with Early-English lancet windows and "blind oculus" above.

Water Reservoir off Burghmuir Drive
The enhanced security of the place (metal fence doubling the height of the old stone wall plus five strands of barbed wire atop) ensured my curiosity.
It appears that the housing estates were built much later and have been adapted to fit in around the fenced off area.

Apartments, North Street, Inverurie
A few years ago Inverurie had the highest average house prices in Scotland: http://www.scotsman.com/news/inverurie-tops-list-as-most-expensive-location-to-buy-a-house-1-705057 . Things have cooled off considerably in the wake of the oil slump but there are several large, modern apartment complexes in town. This one on North Street, with its palette of light greys, almost dazzles the eyes on a sunny day...
