Blaikie's Quay

This photograph looks west along Blaikie's Quay towards Market Street and the city. It likely dates from the early 20th century.

Horse drawn wagons and workers can be seen alongside the moored boats. A street lamp is in the foreground.

Piles of timber can be seen in the background which suggests the photograph shows the area in front of Robert Millar & Sons, Aberdeen Saw Mills and George Gordon & Co., all timber related businesses on Blaikie's Quay. This area can be seen on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey Aberdeenshire LXXV.11 map sheet revised to 1899 to 1900 and published 1902, and on later mapping.

A large sailboat and steamship are moored alongside the quay.
