Description
Aberdeen was once a major fishing port and an important trading centre for the North Sea and beyond. Situated between two rivers, it saw the development of papermaking and textile mills, while in the 1970s, it became the oil capital of Britain. Today, the natural landscape again dominates, in the move to invest in new energy sources. This is the story of the women, men and children who earned their living in a variety of occupations, some common across Scotland, others unique to Aberdeen and the North East.
