Aberdeen Scotland 1993 - 97

[@HighTen_Melanie]

A very apt choice of music “I’ll find my way home” by Jon & Vangelis. Watching this is a bit like being in a time machine if only we could just step into the picture and live in that time again.

[@spicethecat6207]

Who remembers driving past the Norco milk factory and seeing the milk production line? Excellent videos makes me feels quite sad to see what Aberdeen looked like and how it is now

[@firenza74]

Mostly everything in video changed beyond recognition now.Great foresight to record this.

[@linjoy9627]

I've just re-watched this and want to go back in time not to the 90s but to the wonderful 70s....... but knowing what I know now!

[@johnross3333]

I lived in Aberdeen from 1973-1979 and saddened to see what has become of many of the places I remember from back then.

[@John-iq4cj]

@@johnross3333Aberdeen is like a ghost town now. The hustle and bustle of the 90’s is long gone, sadly.

Feels like yesterday, used to go to the "Hacket Cock" after work on a Friday and Saturday for a pint (used to work at Jack Wilsons Motor City on the Lang Stracht, who remembers the television advert "jingle"?). My mother worked down at Berryden. Sadly a lifetime ago. Halcyon days. Lovely video, thanks for the memories 🤙🤙🤙

I was born in 1996 and it's mad how much has changed since the 1990's and now. I have now realized that a-lot of the places that I have always went to like Berryden Retail Park and that were only built the same decade. It's somehow eery seeing buildings on such as open space now.

[@MMM1801]

Superb! I saw the stairs at Berryden we bought for our pigeon loft when everything was demolished, a chip shop one of my relatives had and our honeymoon hotel! A great watch

[@linjoy9627]

OMG ! The car park that's seen in the first few seconds of this video was where the "Timmer Market" was held when I was a kid. God I loved it, there were plenty of stalls with all kinds of things for sale including toy's, that was back in the 60's. Wow never thought I'd see The Dee Motel again, that used to be where I'd go with pals.

[@EzeePosseTV]

Aye, my gran used to run a stall at the Timmer/Castle gate market. I miss those days.

[@peterclark659]

Why has this video just been recommended. Totally random, but very welcome 👍👍👍

[@whereeaglesdare3]

Ciggearetteheid brill videos back to the Aberdeen I knew and loved, and to a time when many family were still around, wonderful, but also emotional video. Just wish the traitors we had in charge of us were more in tune to preserving things rather than bludgeoning out our past and handing our city over to people who have no ties here.

[@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws]

Absolutely they should be hung. I really dont have much ties left with Aberdeen because, as you say, time marches on, My kids are there still but I only have a handfull of relatives left and all these horrible changes were going on at the time I move. When I go back up there, (I used to say home) I dont know my way around which is terrible because I lived there for nearly 40 years before leaving. Its nothing like it was, coming out of the station, youre in a place you dont know at all...its tragic. That Trump thing was just about the last straw for me...taking his side against Aberdonians! That was one betrayal too far!

[@tweedy151]

Great video - enjoyed it, thanks. Coop, Dee Motel, wowsers.

[@whereeaglesdare3]

Wish we could wind the clock back

[@Iain1983]

Well done with the foresight to film this

[@Mouse2113]

Born in 86 but still remember all of this in my younger years

[@hailhail6763]

Brilliant video, lots of memories

[@davidhenderson7433]

cracking upload, Hays, Norco, those were the days..............

[@JohnSmith-ii9ci]

remember how the college was suddenly shut and unsafe , seemed so weird for such a modern building at the time. At that time it really was a community, mainly local voices in the shops cafes and streets. Sorry but weve lost that, thanks to Tony Blair and Tory successors.

[@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws]

I moved from Aberdeen/Aberdeenshire to London in 1996, I am still in London but this time is how I remember Aberdeen (I was born in Aberdeen to an Aberdonian family). Oh no! all these places I remember so well! We bought 2 of our horses at Kittybrewster and my dad did his training in order to become a Licensee at the Cocket Hat, oh this is so sad! Oh dont tell me they demolished all those beautiful buildings! I knew that Aberdeen Council didnt know its arse from its elbow when it let Trump have Balmedie...its criminal!

[@Gazzabhoy]

That would be Aberdeenshire council which refused Trump planning permission for Menie Estate development, absolutely nothing to do with Aberdeen Clowncil.

[@SeanScot36]

I don’t think I had ever seen the dairy Berryden Road in operation.

[@coco85dons]

Class m8 grew up castlegate used t play in the bamboo on Virgina street 👍

[@mattnav273]

awesome vid mate, jaw dropping

[@kennedyknew8701]

The sales at the Dee motel those were they days ..

[@gk310]

Frankie Robb at the Dee Motel

[@gk310]

@Talorc MacAllan was there with a girl friend one night who made the mistake of going to the toilet as he was strumming ‘the blues’, everybody used to him usually hid at that point. His comment that, ‘it proved that even beautiful women need to have a shite’, was a gem 😂
