    From: Foi Enquiries To: Subject: FOI-18-0015 - Water Fountains Date: 19 January 2018 16:21:33 Attachments: Further Information - Right to Review & Appeal.pdf Dear Further to Aberdeen City Council’s response, we are writing to advise that a couple of lines were missed from the table. Please find below the revised response. I’m researching water fountains. I’d like the street address - or if not possible, as precise a location as is possible - for all fountains (whether those are drinking fountains, ornamental or otherwise, and whether they are working or non-working) owned, managed, maintained or operated by the local authority. The following table includes references to former drinking fountains/wells which, because of the current health and safety regulations, necessitated their removal from use on the grounds that costs would be too excessive to comply with those regulations. Others, which are non-working have been kept on display at various sites as ‘relics’ of the past.

  • Old Aberdeen's
    Old Aberdeen’s Heritage Tree Trail A GUIDE TO OUR HERITAGE TREES Boston Ivy - (Parthenocissus tricuspidata) Location: New Kings, High Street Trees have adorned important, city buildings, monuments and avenues, providing contrast and form in urban environments for thousands of years. 5 - 3 0 0 2 s k n a B f f o e G © s e g a m i l l A 1 1 Introduction The original settlement of Old Aberdeen (Aberdon) was located on the south bank of the River Don. Though the early history of Aberdon is unclear, it is thought that this riverside settlement had been in existence since the Roman occupation of Britain. During this period, Aberdon would have been mainly a large wetland area covered with alder and willow trees. Scots pine and birch grew on the exposed coastal hills and the dense and extensive Caledonian forest lay further west. However, much had changed by the 12th century. The expanding communities of Old and New Aberdeen had need for timber, which depleted much of the nearby forest – leaving only the Royal Forest of Stocket; which was bequeathed to the Burgh of Aberdeen by Robert the Bruce in 1319. Certainly, by the time Parson Robert Gordon created his map of Aberdeen in 1661* the Royal Forest was long gone. The only trees now evident were short-lived cultivated trees found in gardens and orchards – hence Orchard Street, Walk etc. By the mid 18th century, private estates such as Seaton had established new tree planting schemes. The oldest surviving trees from that era are the 250-year-old elms and sycamores in what is now Seaton Park, tree numbers 14 and 15 along the trail.
