Old Photograph Union Street Aberdeen Scotland

Old photograph of Union Street, Aberdeen, Scotland. Union Street was named to commemorate the Union of Britain and Ireland. It was built to relieve the strain of the small, cramped streets that caused problems for people coming into the city. It was built higher than the old town and was designed to include the five entrances from the city: Queens Road, Rubislaw from Hazelhead; George Street from Inverurie and Morayshire; King Street from the north from Bridge Of Don, Peterhead and Fraserburgh; Market Street, which leads to the fishing town of Torry; and Holburn Street to the Ruthrieston and Garthdee areas.
