Albyn Place

A postcard image looking east along Albyn Place in Aberdeen. The photograph likely dates from the early 20th century.

The intersection of Albyn Grove can be seen in the middle of the image. Queen's Terrace and Rubislaw Terrace Gardens can be seen on the left. Pedestrians, the no. 14 tram and street lamps are also visible.

Albyn Place, as both a street and a street name, was created about 1830, when Archibald Simpson, the famous Aberdeen architect was engaged in building his residence there.

The name itself was, it has been suggested, borrowed from the fashionable Edinburgh street of the same name.
