More about this scene
This is where Aberdeen was to go. It would take seven centuries from the granting of the first written royal charter. The dark spire in the foreground is that of the Tollbooth, the old headquarters of the council, built about 1616. The Town House extends from there to the taller tower, built about 1870. The statue is of George, fifth and last Duke of Gordon, as the inscription on the plinth poignantly explains. This is one of the first, if not the first, statue to be carved in granite for over a thousand years.
