Title
Rosemount Viaduct
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: "Rosemount Viaduct as seen from the Union Terrace Gardens. The three buildings, from left to right, are the Public Library, the South Church, and his Majesty's Theatre, one of Aberdeen's many corners of strong granite architectural beauty. The three buildings are now humorously and ironically known in Aberdeen as 'education, salvation and damnation.' Just out of sight on the left is the gigantic statue of William Wallace, who stands on his great granite pedestal with hand pointing towards these three fine buildings."
