Places I remember from Aberdeen in the 80s .... Cousins, The Other Record Shop, The Cotton Club, "Charlies" (Charlie Brown's), Aberdeen indoor market, The market stalls at the bottom of the Back Wynd, Aitken's Bakery, "Eesies" (Cafe ICI), Bruce Millers (and the Howf), the Capital Theatre, the Odeon Cinema, the ABC Cinema, Bakers of Union St., Fine Fare at the Bridge of Dee, Aberdeen College of Commerce (or College of Comedy, as we preferred to call it), Radars, Bon Accord baths, Bon Accord drinks, The "Crit" (Criterion bar), Henry J Bean’s, Carmine's (Italian cafe) ... many more. There used to be a knick-knack shop at the top of Holburn street ... I've long forgotten the name, but it was there forever. There was always a tea towel in the window with the words "Wha's Like Us - Damn Few And They're A' Deid". Never a truer word.

The Venice Cafe & Chipper takeaway, run by 2 Brothers, I've edited my mistake as it was actually the Premier Grill that had the Albino guy, He did move to Elgin tho

Please keep doing these. The wife is fascinated with Scotland and she cannot go, the videos would help.
