More about this scene
These days, Aberdeen is famous for its association with North Sea oil, but shipbuilding, fishing, papermaking and the quarrying of granite have all played their part in the city's development. On the right of this view is the Mercat Cross, which dates from 1686. It was built at a cost of £100, paid for out of guild wine funds. Beyond the cross are the municipal buildings complete with their 210 ft tower.
