Aberdeen: a pictorial souvenir
This conveniently sized hardback book is illustrated throughout with over 90 photographs. It provides a degree and style of regional coverage not widely available and is part of a series of regional Scottish books. The introduction, which provides an overview of the area, is followed by a photographic tour of Aberdeen.
Market: This is an ideal book for those who love Scotland and all things Scottish and for those who do not know Scotland at all. Very good value at just under £5, it also makes an ideal gift for friends and relatives and those who have family connections with Scotland. It is hoped that this book will be an encouragement for those who have never travelled to the area to make their own visit and discover some of the less well-known places it illustrates. It is especially hoped that this book will play a small part in providing a lasting memory for all those who return to their homeland as so many did during the Year of Homecoming (Homecoming Scotland 2009).
Content: A photographic tour of the city of Aberdeen that aims to capture its mood and illustrate the principal landmarks and places of interest. From its famous silvery granite architecture to fine parks and gardens plus historically significant enclaves, the book's coverage reflects the great variety and unique character of the city. Old Aberdeen and the University speak of origins and academia while the busy docks testify to its commanding influence in the North Sea oil industry. The rivers Dee and Don also help to define the area and the city. Illustrated with over 90 colour photographs, most of which have been taken especially for this book. A useful list of many visitor attractions in Aberdeen and their contact details is shown at the end.
