Aberdeen Beach
A photograph which appears to show the commencement of a scooter race on Aberdeen Beach. The tires in the distance suggest a relatively short circular track.

This was likely part of Aberdeen Vespa Club's annual Brig o' Balgownie Rally event. Old newspapers indicate this included road trails and sand racing. An article titled 'Wheels rally at the beach' about the event can be found in the Evening Express of 18th August 1973 on page 8.

This images comes from a collection of slides donated to Aberdeen City Libraries by Aberdeen City Council's publicity department. The slide has a label identifying the year as 1972.
