Broomend of Crichie stone row
Stone forming part of the stone row. Sadly very few of the original stones survive (Scale 1m). https://stonerows.wordpress.com/gazetteer/region/rest-of-scotland/broomend-of-crichie-south/

Thomas Tait paper mill, Inverurie
At this time the power plant was interesting. There was a disused Belliss and Morcom triple expansion steam engine, Belliss and Morcom turbine and Stirling boiler. There was a much more modern working Allen turbine driving an alternator through Stoekicht epicyclic gears.
The recent Geograph looks nothing like this.

Thomas Tait papermill, steam turbine
This was a modern W H Allen steam turbine driving an alternator via an Allen-Stoekicht epicyclic gear box. Steam was produced from a very compact Babcock & Wilcox water tube boiler. I believe I have notes in the loft and will amend in due course. This might have survived through to the mill's recent closure.

Thomas Tait papermill, disused steam engine
A 1928 built Belliss & Morcom inverted vertical triple expansion steam engine direct coupled to a Lancashire Dynamo & Motor Co Ltd alternator. Good for 1100 brake horsepower at 300 rpm on steam at 240-245 psi. Fitted with an Arca regulator for interstage steam extraction. Surrounded by junk and almost certainly scrapped. The mill has now closed also.

Thomas Tait papermill, steam turbine
An out of use Belliss & Morcom turbine that was (I think) 1950s vintage. The view shows the turbine, surface condenser, air extractors and intercondenser, reduction gearbox and air-cooled alternator. It looks like there might be bled steam connections from the turbine casing (and an atmospheric exhaust).

Railway to Aberdeen, Port Elphinstone
Looking south, showing the relatively recent doubled track. Compare with https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2969813 from 2011.

Derelict building
It's shown on the 1899 OS 25-inch map and probably had something to do with the adjacent Crichiebank House, now part of Crichiebank Business Centre: https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6502113 .
