Old photograph of a horse drawn Tram in Aberdeen, Scotland. The Aberdeen District horse drawn tramway services Tramways services started on 31 August 1874. The company fleet grew to around 40 tramcars. Initial vehicles were obtained from the Starbuck Car and Wagon Company but from 1883 the company turned to a local manufacturer, R & J Shinnie of Union Row, Aberdeen, who provided subsequent tramcars. Aberdeen Corporation took over the company on 26 August 1898 and formed the Aberdeen Corporation Tramways to continue the service and modernise it.
