Couldn't agree more with @Scranlife. John Nicolson's drawings are a joy for archaeologists and anyone interested in the Caithness landscape. Here's his self portrait from 1928.

@MurphyNiallGLA @HESEngineShed Hi Niall - check out the Sir Basil Spence Archive notes here: https://t.co/Ms4xneCccC
Russell Diplock Associates, who were aided by Spence, didn't adhere to the road layout that the Edinburgh Corporation wanted so didn't win the competition.
Fascinating to imagine the Denburn in #Aberdeen before the railway took its place running under Union St and out to the north. This plan from #OTD 1863 shows how the discussions on developing the Granite City's infrastructure was going.

I'm wowed by @EllaMcHawk's wonderful William Morris biscuits today! Now if only these Sir Edward Burne-Jones for William Morris & Co stained glass windows in Craigiebuckler Church, #Aberdeen in @HistEnvScot's National Record were boiled sugar hard candies...

@TheBrochProject @HistEnvScot @ArchScot @InstituteArch @skipperAitken Loads to enjoy in @HistEnvScot's National Record on Nicolson for anyone that doesn't already know. And here's an added treat for you broch fans - a watercolour he did of Elsay Broch in 1902.

Here's #Caithness #archaeologist/antiquarian extraordinaire John Nicolson holding his in a 1928 self-portrait. There's a photo of it in @HistEnvScot's National Record plus loads more by him!
#Archive30 #sport Round of applause, please! Here are the winners of the #Invergordon dockyard sports relay race from 1917, from an @HistEnvScot album of images showing aspects of working and social life in the naval dockyard. Check it out: https://t.co/suG2MVqlXg
@cath_slessor @Demetrius_Art @StaceyHunterEdi @HistEnvScot I had the pleasure of interviewing Alexander Buchanan Campbell during 2003 when I worked on the Scottish Architects' Papers Preservation Project at RCAHMS - he did some really fascinating buildings. The Key Youth Centre opposite is also very interesting.

@Scranlife @HistEnvScot @Scotmid Aww thanks! I'd like to see more of the @Scotmid archives in due course! There are some interesting, I'm guessing, postwar features in the building that RCAHMS recorded back in 1991. These colours are (almost) back in fashion...
