Today, Old Aberdeen💙 #walking #citywalking #oldaberdeen #seatonpark #aberdeen #wrightsandcoopersplace
A light dusting overnight and Old Aberdeen is looking sharp ❄️
Granite, arches and towers, now framed in white, glistening with the sun. Just enough snow to make the morning walk feel a little different.
Same campus. New mood. 💙

A block of freestone, called a skewputt, moulded cyma recta, built upside down and side on into a dyke.
The Chanonry's west dyke, at the site of the pre-Reformation Oneil manse.
Text from William Orem, 1725: Alexander Kininmonth, first of that name (of whom before) added to the aforesaid number the parson of Kincardine-Oneil, which was formerly an hospital for sick people; founded by Allan Durward, anno 1330. His manse, yard, and gleib, lie on the West side of the chanry, having Methlick's Manse on the South, and the parson of Deer's on the North. A son of the laird of Durris, surnamed Fraser, built a part of Kincardine-Oneil's lodging; for his name and armorial-coat were upon one of the peat-stones.
#OldAberdeen Spotted a skewputt set in the Chanonry's west dyke, near the site of the former Oneil manse. Orem (1725) says: "A son of the laird of Durris, surnamed Fraser, built a part of Kincardine-Oneil's lodging; for his name and armorial-coat were upon one of the peat-stones." The same stone?

Delighted to be visiting #Aberdeen and the Special Collections @aberdeenunilib.bsky.social
I'm being weirdly nostalgic for a town I couldn't wait to leave 20 years ago. Just sightseeing today, the campus is beautiful.

Racist protesters will be shouting at Don Street buildings as asylum seekers are being moved there. There is likely to be a peaceful counter protest, which you can join.

The impressive Powis Gates located towards the north of the city, on the grounds of the University of Aberdeen’s King’s College campus. A 19th century structure, Powis Gates once served as a grand and ostentatious entrance to Powis House. #Scotland #OldAberdeen #Aberdeen #SunnyDay
