Port of Aberdeen's South Harbour
This large investment for the port now nearing completion. It started at £300 million, now near £400 million and about one and a half years behind schedule. I can't complain they still pay me a pension.
The Bay of Nigg was once a very popular picnic area for many, many years. I first remember it in the early 1950's when the anti-tank blocks from the war were still there. The blocks made great wind breaks when the weather wasn't great. I think the postcard is from the 1930's judging from the styles of clothes.

Re: Port of Aberdeen's South Harbour
Hi Bill.
Brought back some memories, Ran into Aberdeen many times while on the Coast. Remember going to a dance there a few times, poor girls were drowned in perfume trying to keep the fish smell away, but they were still lovely.
