Diversion of the River Dee
A photograph in Aberdeen Harbour looking east from the Inches (near the later site of Commercial Road).

The image looks across the old course of the River Dee including its spillwater channel towards Old Torry and Balnagask in the distance.

The civil engineering works shown in this photograph are thought to be part of the river diversion, creation of Albert Basin and the associated reclamation of land.

The diversion of the River Dee took place roughly between 1868 and 1873.
