Title
Union Terrace Gardens
Description
A busy scene in Union Terrace Gardens. In the foreground a child rides a coin-operated, motorised toy car, while others practice with marching batons. A large number of people sit on the benches on what looks like an overcast day. Many have bags suggesting they may have been shopping. In addition to the prominent city coat of arms, floral displays marking the centenary of local newspaper, <i>the Evening Express</i>, and the Scottish Salvation Army are visible. Beyond the gardens, the marque of His Majesty's Theatre advertises the musical <i>Cole</i> starring Una MacLean. The centenaries and musical indicate the image likely dates from August 1979. This photograph comes from a collection of slides donated to Aberdeen City Libraries by Aberdeen City Council's publicity department.
