I believe it was called the Monkey House as in the 1960s it was a meeting point for young couples going on a date, as the fashion was back then with the Beatles a lot of the guys used to hang around there waiting for the dates to show up waring the Beatles Monkey jackets.
Never seem to understand the mindset of the aberdeen Council, absolute idiots back then, and no batter know, they seem obsessed with having to do something, regardless of how stupid it is. They even considered demolishing marshal college??????
Ty I’ve used your videos as information for my fiction novel very grateful
Ty very informative
So glad I came across this ... thanks for all of the production work. I'll stop by the Aberdeen Whisky Shop this November while I search for a dram to raise to Grandpa's memory.
Cheers, @Bar_220 !
That was fantastic. I know Aberdeen well and found a few new discoveries here, thanks for the work!
@@fridarey thanks for your kind comment!
Terrible accent
Interesting video but I feel your list of reading is lacking without the works of brilliant local author Norman Adams and his factual books about Aberdeen crime and punishment……blood and granite and hangman’s brae.
Wtf has all the oil and gas money went?
AGreat video , aberdeen is very confusing the way everything has been built ontop of each other Im just wobdering why archways underneath a street is a better way to support it rather than just simply filling it all in
@@astarayoung4677 well - nothing’s really been built on top of each other. The buildings on either side of Union Street go all the way down to ground level - it’s only the pavements and road that’s supported by arches. As to why it’s likely arches and not filled in - you’d still need to build walls to contain the material, and arches are very strong so no need to fill them in. That’s just a guess though I’m no civil engineer. I’d imagine subsidence would be a potential issue with filling them in too. That’s the problem they had with the houses on Errol place, it was built on landfill.
Founded ? Is that another word for built ???🤔
@@astarayoung4677 dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/founded#
They are beautiful churches don't ever pull down as Glasgow did
Why didn't Provast Skene's House get a mention? I love this building and hated that St Nickolas House dwarfed it, now the idiot council did it again with that stupid office block opposite Marshall College.
Agreed - St Nicholas house wasn’t great I suppose but Marischal Square is worse as Skene House is now totally boxed in. They did a hatchet job on the grouting and we lost the museum and cafe too. I take a brief look at Provost Skene’s house in an upcoming video so stay tuned.
The tunnels are more extensive than were led to believe, I was in part of them in the late seventies
The Chamber of Secrets, obviously!
Mon ih Dons min!
there used to be so many picture houses in every city . so many childhood memories of going too the many picture houses around edinburgh area
Ha ha! I just said about the Kirks in the last comment.... Yeah ill watch this. Do the statues! Were they pulled down in the blm riots where every other statue was in the country?
No statues brought down here - but at the same time, I don't think he have any statues dedicated to businessmen in general - never mind ones linked to the slave trade. We've got Albert and Victoria - who had a really good relationship with Aberdeen (thinking of making a video about that), King Edward, Robbie Burns, Robert the Bruce and William Wallace, and then I think there's just General Gordon. Oh, then there's MacLeod's statue (co created penicillin) which is new. Most of the others are obelisks or abstract art. Different culture in Scotland I think - we tend to celebrate philanthropists and Scottish heroes rather than folks who made the empire rich.
I saw on one of your videos on union Street .... Or someone's ... There was a corner with statues where all the winos sat. The pigeon poo statues... Are they gone? I ca' mind ...
@@carolinetarrant2486 sorry not sure. The only corner I can think there there’s more than one statue is on Union Terrace and Union Street. King Edwards statue which is flanked underneath by a couple others, was removed briefly for cleaning while Union Terrace Gardens was being refurbed recently.
I enjoyed that. I grew up in neighbouring towns and lived there some years. I left 20 years ago. I barely remember any of those street names. Tell you what though, when i lived there i remember being astonished how many kirk steeples you could see in close proximity.... All been converted to bars now as theyd started to back when i lived there. And i made a day of going round all the statues to read the plaques. But im glad im not there. It rains where i am just the same but the buildings are made of yellow stones..much brighter
Thank you again. Agree with you entirely.

The west end has some beautiful buildings too. By far the most attractive part of the city.
Marichal college is ih worst 🤣🤣

I've watched a few of your videos now great work may I just say thank you for your great effort you put into these videos I've recently done photography and video photography at college and understand the many hours that go into editing alone 🙏🤟 but I was abit disappointed not not see the once famous "Woodend Hospital" Eday road I know some History about it how I believe it one of the oldest ones and did serve during WW2 was interested to see what information you could find out as I just stay 10 mins away from there and the architecture inside it is amazing 👏
Hi - thanks for the kind comment! Yes these projects are definitely a time soak, anyone who does this kind of thing will tell you the same. Never be discouraged if your productions seem to be taking ages to see to completion - that’s normal! I definitely did cover Woodend but I think I initially refer to it in the video as Oldmill which was it’s original name.
Robert Gordon went to work in Poland (the Free City of Gdansk was autonomous) and earned a lot of money there xD ... xD
Very informative, nice video. I well remember being in Sir Laffalots when a brawl broke out (in the 1980s I guess). A proper brawl, with things thrown and men jumping over tables to get at one another. I didn't hang around, I was out that door like a scalded cat. It always wis a ruff place. Should have been called "Laffalot and I'll take the smile aff yer face". Cheers.
Excellent video, thanks for putting it all together. How well I remember the Gaumont cinema on a Saturday morning as a kid, I even went up on the stage and danced there at "half-time" and won a prize. The winner was the one that got the loudest cheers from the audience of children. So I just went "feel". I can see the Jungle Book was on at the cinema at the time of your photo, not so long ago really (feels like yesterday). And then when a late teenager, the odd trip into the Grand Central to see the type of films you wouldn't dare tell your mother you went to see. The biggest challenge was trying to convince the person at the ticket booth you were over 18! Happy days. And then the Majestic. The Council ought to have been shot (am I allowed to say that, haha) for allowing it be knocked down and turned into that carbuncle of an office block on Union Street. I believe it's called the Aurora building now. Aye it's a "horra" alright. I feel old now.
Hi, thanks for your comment! Just for transparency the photo in question is not mine but belongs to Tony Laing. You can see more photos here: cinematreasures.org/theaters/41126/photos I also was surprised to learn that they tore down that building when I saw it. It was a striking and unique granite building, more impressive in scale than it's counterpart a door down.
Missed you so much. Best channel in Aberdeen.
Thanks, Scott!
The legend is finally back!
Haven't lived anywhere near Aberdeen since 76 so I did NOT do well.
Hi @madmark1957 - I think the less well you did on the quiz the more you might have learned from the video so hopefully it was at least educational if not fun :)
Oh I enjoyed it well enough.@@duthies
Hi, I love your delivery I'm fae Aberdeen, but I moved 30 years ago, and it's really interesting watching you cut about the streets. What are you filming with as the production is so high quality?
Hi @SHEARWATER7-rm1ph - many thanks for the compliments - I really like visually documenting what I'm talking about, when I started reading local history books I always wanted to get up and go to wherever they were physically writing about and see what's there now - but it wasn't always clear where things used to be. One of the aims of my videos is to show people exactly where this history happened through current photos and maps so they can visit themselves and hopefully be inspired like I was. Stills are taken on a Nikon D600 and video either on same or my old iPhone 7. I think all the footage in this video was taken with the iPhone. I probably wouldn't recommend picking up the D600 for video work as it uses line skipping - you'll see moire in the footage of St Machar's Cathedral in my "Ancient Chronicle" video. Newer cameras are usually designed with more of a video focus than they were in 2012, but it's still an excellent stills camera by todays standard... if you're happy cleaning your own sensor (an oil spatter issue was fixed in the later D610).
Thanks for your reply. I wouldn't have guessed iPhone must be a framerate thing. I have tried anamorphic lenses, a gimbal, ect and didn't achieve the movie look you achieve, @@duthies
@@SHEARWATER7-rm1ph I've just taken a look at the original files - the timelapse footage was taken with the iPhone and no grading applied - but the non-timelapse footage was taken on a grey overcast day on the D600. For the latter I used the Neutral profile with reduced contrast (-3) and saturation (-1) in-camera to give me a bit more latitude for grading and in post reduced the offset in all the clips, sometimes adding back in a bit of contrast or gain depending on the individual clip. Lens was 14mm (full frame), framerate 30fps but the final video rendered in 24p. Hope that's useful!
Very helpfull thanks for taking the time Graeme@@duthies
First class 57 out of 60 . Don’t leave it so long for next upload .
Thanks @jackadoddle - that's a fantastic score!
@@duthies My father was a friend of the late James Fenton Wyness Aberdeen architect and famous local historian, it looks like some of that stuff I heard as a child must have stuck in my memory 😱
Well, I did worse than I expected, only managing 39/60. Maybe not too bad for a millenial? A few notes: - I probably should have gotten 9/10 in round 2, but I chickened out and paid the price, only getting 7. - Provost Ross was my guess for oldest building FWIW - I just so happened to be near the old top note a few weeks back, so I knew that one for sure. Keep up the good work. I have to enjoy aberdeen from wales for the next few years. btw, if you get time, apparently Aberdeen is the site of the first Farmfoods in the UK, but do you happen to know it's original premises?
Also, re: tie breaker. My friend's student film for their honours project at aberdeen uni was about the aberdeen strangler...and I'm to blame for that, so I'll never forget that answer
@shift_reset that's a great score! Now you've got me interested in Farmfoods - I didn't know that! According to this article Farmfoods started in Aberdeen in the 1970s and didn't expand to other towns until the 1990s. www.theguardian.com/business/2014/feb/17/farmfoods-scotland-fastest-growing-grocer That means I should be able to figure it out using phone books from the 1970s-1980s. Ancestry has the phone books online and they do mention Farmfoods but I'm not signing up to them as there's a charge. Aberdeen City Library on Rosemount Viaduct or Aberdeenshire library HQ in Oldmeldrum will have the old phone books. Aberdeen Live had an article about it but looks like they didn't look very deeply into it: www.aberdeenlive.news/news/aberdeen-news/farmfoods-aberdeen-origin-iconic-scottish-8112730 The British Newspaper Archive might have a lead if they advertised in the P&J - I'll look there next!
@shift_reset - 783 Great Northern Road according to this advert from 1970: www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0000445/19700529/536/0006 But it's unclear as to whether that was their first Farmfoods Freezer store or just their depot as a meat supplier, which Farmfoods was until the 70s. 783 GNR was their base of operations as a meat supplier from 1954 when they first opened www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0000540/19540710/053/0003 I think that this entry from 1973 is the first mention of the first Farmfoods store as we would know it - unfortunately it just says "Lang Stracht", no number. There is a picture - it doesn't give many clues but it looks like it could be the one that's still there in the Lang Stracht shopping centre behind the hotel. Subsequent adverts also give the same address with no street number. But it also mentions that they were running the frozen foods business out of their 783 GNR address previously so that could also arguably be considered the first. www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0000445/19730320/225/0010 Next address I found was 162 GNR - looks like they were looking for a "Manageress" for their new store in 1974 www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0000445/19740806/435/0011 Finally, this advert from 1975 lists the 3 Farmfoods branches of the time. "Lang Stracht Shop Centre" 160 Great Northern Road and 1 North Street, Inverurie
Actually, if I had just read this advert in full I would have realised it says "Frozen Food Supply Centre, Lang Stracht, Aberdeen (Just behind the hotel). So it must be the one behind Best Western on Lang Stracht www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0000445/19730320/225/0010

love your content min! especially appreciate the music :)
Really appreciate your content as well, love your projects, that type of content is right up my alley!
Excellent fun. Chuffed I got a reasonable amount right - 7 5 8 6.5 8 8 = 42.5, plus decider, but also kicking myself at some of the ones I got wrong / didn't know. Tolbooth for oldest building, Shoreies instead of harbour board (which I knew!) etc. Answering under pressure and time makes it tougher! I'm claiming 0.5 points for round 4 q 2, as I said 'old footballer' which isn't incorrect.... (I'm also not a fan of the football, so I think it is remarkable I even got that. :) ) Feel free to deduct that half point if you really wish. :D As said, good fun. Thanks.
Ha ha - those questions are as close to a Sports round as you'll ever get from me so I'd be happy giving you half a point for that - football fans might disagree :) Glad you had fun - great score!
Are you the voice of the 727 airport bus announcements, not just the accent but the voice is remarkably similar.

I always thought Robert was holding up a council tax bill.
Nae big enough to be a council tax bill! lol
not sure if you have any plans to continue making content but it would be interesting to see a video on the tower blocks across the city such as Marsichal Court and Hutcheon Court, as well as a video on the old Richards of Aberdeen building!
Thanks for the suggestions! I'll add them to my ideas list. New video launching either this Saturday or next :)
I traced my family tree years ago. My mothers family came from the area of Aberdeenshire. Family clan is Duncan(modern spelling). One grandfather was executed in front of his congregation for not holding the King of England higher in respect than Our Saviour, Jesus Christ. He is buried in the graveyard of the church that is still standing.

Very interesting and well presented. The Episcopal church pronounces the word diocese as (die-oh-sis) Locally represented as the diocese of Aberdeen and Orkney. Evangelical is pronounced (Eve-an-gel-ick-al). Many thanks.
Thanks highten443! Yeah I caught my mis-pronunciation of diocese *after* I did the recording, as usual! Lol. I think I made a reference to it at the end of the video?
Great stuff. Well done loon.
Many thanks IScreamer!
Can you do a video on Why some of Aberdeens Roundabouts.. People keep to the left hand lane!! even when taking the Third Exit !! E.g. Elizabeth Bridge Southbound. towards Wellington Road !!!
Do you think I'd get a lot of views for a video titled "Aberdeen's SHIT DRIVERS"? It would just be me driving around with a dashcam for an hour. What do you think? Good concept? :D
