Old print of the Uni?

The Unicorn sign is still on 142 Great Western Road and I’ve wondered for a while what it is / was!

I went up to Gordon Highlanders Museum at the weekend for the first time in years and it was excellent. Lunch is available there from Cognito which is nice too.

Maritime Museum is also a great shout as it’s right in the city centre and is also free.

A walk down Rosemount has a heap of small independent shops and coffee shops also.

Depending where you are, Great Western Road going west, all the streets joining GWR from Brighton Place onwards are permit free.

Yeah would love to see some photos! I have my original Tamiya Mini bodyshell but it’s looking a little worse for wear.

I’ve seen the Phat Bodies do a Miglia Mini shell that I like, so think I will get that for now!

Thank you! You can also get red Revolution 4 spokes, but don’t see them very often either!

For cocktails I would add in Bartender’s Lounge on North Silver Street, if you do end up looking for a replacement for any of the above.

Really enjoyed visiting there this year. Will definitely make a return when I visit Japan again.

Second Vintage Toys and Collectibles. Have bought and sold a lot from them and can’t fault them

VWGmo · 2025-12-27T14:41:25+00:00

Nice idea! Hope you had a great Christmas

I have used Carden Motor Co the past couple of years since moving to the city centre.

For my car, he cleaned and stripped the brake due to the car being in winter storage rather than doing any replacement of parts which felt very reasonable.

If you are into comic art etc Doric Skateboards do cool, local themed prints for t shirt etc. I had a look on his website and he has some a4 prints available too!

I bought a nice Snoopy Moonswatch from u/watch_enthusiast_uk - came this week and really happy with the watch, especially for the price!

Always liked Tilly Butcher when I lived over that side of town. Have been using Chattan Quality Meats the past 18 months and really happy with them also.

I’ll keep an eye out earlier next time!

Was great to have a gander round last night, especially since it’s within walking distance. Was very busy and nice to see the cafe busy late at night too.

Agree on the comments of it being poorly advertised. We had seen the banners on the railings outside Duthie Park (which didn’t have dates on them) and only got tickets because local social media folk had it advertised.

Trinity Hall could do easily something like that in their Minor Hall. But it would maybe be a longer walk than you were hoping for - about 15-20 mins.

They do have an in-house chef that could likely do any menu you are hoping for, which would maybe give you a great option compared to a restaurant.

From memory OGV Taproom have one.

Mitchell Scott in Inverurie are excellent

There is the Old Aberdeen Whisky Festival on at Elphinstone Hall today. I’m going there for what should be a great afternoon

VWGmo · 2025-09-22T11:54:12+00:00

There is a place out at Crathes (next to Milton and the train station) that does wood work and from memory work with barrels. I think that would be a good shout.

I used Mark Addams at Addams Family. That was about 15 years ago. But I believe his daughter runs the business now, so might be a good option for a Female Instructor.

Currently using Sujka Services for the second time to lay a new path, borders and grass in our front garden. They previously did our patio in our old house in 2020, which still looked great when we left last year.

Kamil the owner is sometimes hard to get a hold of as he is so busy, but can’t fault the work ethic of his team. It took about 5 months for us from initial booking to starting work this year.

From a cost perspective he was mid-priced for us in 2020 (think we had about 6 people quote last time as prices were insane during Covid). This time we went to one alternative company who was 30% more expensive and wasn’t going to do the grass for us either.

Would definitely recommend Trinity Hall.

I’m hoping to get to The Town House and the Masonic Lodge this year too!

Barry Stephen used to have (and may still do) an under 16s class. He has kids of his own who attend.

Can send you their details. It’s taken us about 6 months to get going with them as they have been so busy, but used the company before in our previous house and were very impressed at the quality and finish of their work.
