Title
Tourist information caravan
Description
A photograph of the City of Aberdeen's tourist information caravan and its towing Range Rover outside St. Nicholas House (to the rear of the camera) on Broad Street. A number of figures inspect the car. Aberdeen City Council appear to have used a caravan like this from at least 1978. Its purpose was to provide information for visitors and would also have been able to assist with accommodation and activity bookings. The caravan appears to have been sited at road-side locations for considerable periods. One location between 1978 and 1985 was the lay-by on the Stonehaven Road, across the A92 from the foot of Nigg Way, as the road approaches Aberdeen from the south. Looking at the condition of the vehicles and the air of occasion, this may have been the launch of a new caravan. The photograph comes from a collection of slides from the 1970s and 80s donated to Aberdeen City Libraries by Aberdeen City Council's publicity department. Another image of the caravan suggests these ones may date from 1980.
