Title
Regent Quay from the Harbour
Description
This image was digitised from <i>Artistic Aberdeen: A Sketch Book</i> (1932) by W. S. Percy. The book describes the scene as follows: "Regent Quay from the Harbour, with Shore Brae, a glimpse of Shiprow and the houses climbing up to the towers of the Town House and Marischal College. Few more enchanting sights or approaches to the city of Aberdeen could be imagined than this, as coming by sea, one leans over the ship's rail in the early sunshine of a summer's morning. The city climbing up from the harbour and the gleam of glinting granite make an unforgettable picture. This drawing sees the scene in the most charming romantic light."
