Title
Old Aberdeen
Description
A reproduced engraving showing the skyline of Old Aberdeen. The image looks north from around the lands of Sunnyside Farm. In the foreground can be seen two agricultural labourers. On the skyline, going left to right, is the circular Powis Hermitage, on a hill, with its small spire, the twin spires of St. Machar Cathedral in the far distance, the tower of the Old Town House at the end of the High Street, which is protruding above the southern elevation of St. Mary's United Free Church. Moving back along the High Street, the south facing front elevation, with bow windows, of Powis Lodge can be seen above the line of trees. The crown tower of King's College is across the street. The two minarets of the Powis Gateway are just next to it. Further along are the crenelations of Cromwell's Tower. The tower on the far left of the image may be Dunbar's Tower. The minaret gateway was finished in 1834 and this image likely dates from around that period.
