Aberdeen is a beautiful and fascinating place which some know as ‘The Granite City’ due to its export of granite which was used to build London’s Houses of Parliament and Trafalgar Square. It’s also home to the invention of the football dugout created at Pittodrie Stadium featured in this print in 1923.

Featured alongside the football stadium is Dunnottar Castle which served as a hiding place for Scotland’s crown jewels from Oliver Cromwell’s army in the 17th Century. 

This print also features Derry which was the first planned city in Ireland and is often referred to as the walled city, built to withstand attacks from enemies and constructed as a fortress.

Moving on to slightly more modern times in this beautiful city, Derry became home to the impressive Guildhall featured here in this artwork. This building has a rich 130 year history having been severely damaged twice in fires and bombings. This print also features The Peace Bridge which passes over the river Foyle connecting Ebrington Square with the rest of the city centre. It’s a stunning piece of architecture and has one several awards in engineering with 4.5 kilometres of electric cable laid on the bridge- enough to go around the city walls three times.
