Title
Old Aberdeen
Description
A sprawling settlement of houses and cottages sits along the banks of a wide, meandering river. On the bank of the river a group of people load items into a small boat, while two men on horses gallop along the opposite bank. Further up river, two ships sit near to a group of houses, while a large stone bridge units the two banks behind them. To the left of a small hill, church spires rise up above numerous house roofs and a cluster of bushy trees.
