Our recent travels to the British Isles began (aside from a very brief stopover in London) with a lengthy visit to Skye and the northwest of Scotland. After that first adventure we returned to Inverness and took a train to Aberdeen for a few days. After more than a week in the wild open spaces of northwest Scotland, returning to this urban setting was quite a contrast!
We do a lot of walking when we visit cities, and that lets us get close to the city and its people and discover hidden surprises. On our first morning we walked toward the waterfront, and more or less randomly ended up on Netherkirkgate. I understand that this is the oldest street in Aberdeen, dating to the 1200s. Here I came across a man on a ladder who seemed utterly engaged in… whatever he was doing.
