About this book
Capturing the character and people of the city of Aberdeen, this A-Z chronicle gets to the heart of the Granite City and oil capital of Europe, where dispute is never far from the surface, starting with its very name. This illustrated alphabetical foray into the city on the edge of the North Sea from author and historian Lorna Corall Dey presents much that will be familiar as well as other subjects that are less well-known, all of which have all contributed to the growth and reputation of Aberdeen. Fully illustrated with photographs from the past and present, this book will appeal to Aberdonians and those who have never set foot in the Silver City by the golden sands.
