Union Terrace Garden campaigners in Aberdeen
CAMPAIGNERS against a major redevelopment of Aberdeen's Union Terrace Gardens today said they were having an alternative design created.
Aberdeen City Council was holding a special meeting at the Town House today to discuss a plan to raise the gardens to street level, after the winner of a contest to revamp the landmark was selected.
But Friends of Union Terrace Gardens, who protested outside the meeting, revealed they were going to get an architect to come up with a sympathetic plan for restoration of the Aberdeen garden.

Aberdeen: Union Terrace gardens and the three civic bastions, 'Education, Salvation and Damnation'
A beautiful sunny early May day in Aberdeen, Scotland. The city was my teenage home and I have a soft spot for it. The weather is not always so pleasant!
In the centre of the city lies Union Terrace Gardens, a little neglected since my time there in the first half of the 1970s, but still a delight. My camera turns to capture ' Education, Salvation and Damnation', three imposing civic granite buildings, being the Central Library, St Marks Church, and His Majesty's Theatre.
Much of Aberdeen is built of this locally quarried stone, you will find Aberdeengranite across thew world in buildings like
Befor e the industral revolutionj and teh rise of Glasgow, Aberdeen was teh second city of Scotland. It has long been a wealthy place, despite pockets of extreme poveerty. As a geberal rule, the further one goes from London in te UK, teh cheaper one finds property prices - then one hits Aberdeen way to teh north . It;s rich. even tioday with teh oil industry in the relative doldrums Aberdeen reeks of money. Aberdeen styles itself as 'The Oil Capital of Europe'. Aberdeen has long taken its wealth from the sea. I can't see myself ever living teer again, taht's a part of my life that lies in teh past. but make extended visits on a regular basis even though I don't really know anyone there nowadays. There are no family connections in Aberdeen. Those winters!
when teh sun strikes teh grey granite it is transfromed with tiny particles of mica giving it a silvery sheen. Under a far too common grey scudding clouds teh appearance of teh city can be quiute difefernt. Lonely Planet once described Aberdeen as 'a magificent symphony in grey. Those long winter nights, sun struggling to get over the hiorizon at xxx, scooting down xxx later can get one down. In summer it's reversed xxxx Aberdeen is a long way north, at a latutude comparable to xxx an dxxx. the warming gulf stream helps jeep Aberdeen, indeed te entire UK
butalso helps bring brings more drizzle, and damp overcast days to the British Isles than is proper.
I plug ABerdeen whenever the opportunity presents itself. There's a lot to see! Aberdeen lies off
it gets bypassed even when folk come to the area on a whiskey or golfing trip, or doing the 'Royal Deeside' thing. perhaps they will overnight in the city before pressing on. I feel they are miising something.
Even if Aberdeen present to you under the worst of its weather

Aberdeen 12-02-09
Here are just 3 clips from Aberdeen on Thursday 12th.
First off we have 66100 heading north past Union Terrace Gardens with 6A31 from Mossend.
Then a walk out to Nigg Bay hoping the snow would eventually stop, by the time a HST passes with 1E24 14:48 to London it has stopped.
The last clip is a 170 heading south with a service to Edinburgh Waverley.
I'd recommend you watch this video from the same day of Aberdeen's DRS Intermodel :-) :
