Title
Castle Terrace from Castlehill
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: "Castle Terrace from Castlehill, looking towards the Maternity Hospital, with the Town House Tower in the distance. The Castlehill from earliest days has been associated with the military side of Aberdeen, and at the time of this publication is still occupied by the barracks which are the depot of the Gordon Highlanders. Castlehill overlooks river and sea, and it has been stated that earliest Aberdeen nestled in its shadow. Legend and history dealing in famous names such as William Wallace and Robert the Bruce and others not so dear to Scottish ears have surrounded Castlehill with the echoes of stirring events in Aberdeen's long history."
