Blaikie's Quay
This photograph looks northwest across Victoria Dock from Blaikie's Quay.

Featured prominently is a locomotive marked GNSR (Great North of Scotland Railway). It looks like an Aveling and Porter steam shunter. It is pulling wagons loaded with sacks, most likely contain coal. Workers for the train can be seen riding and walking alongside it.

A movable shed, street lamp and signalling device can also be seen on the left of the image.

In the background, across the dock, the front elevation of 33 Regent Quay is visible. This long and narrow, neo-classical building, located at the bottom of Marischal Street, was designed by Robert Gordon Wilson and was built in 1901-02 as a harbour branch for the Aberdeen Town and County Bank.
