Lighthouse
30th April 1955: A lighthouse in Aberdeen. The harbour in Aberdeen was developed in the late eighteenth century and the city prospered as a fishing port from that time. Shipbuilding is also an important industry in the area which is favoured by its location and the increasing population of the city which enables the business to expand.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Aberdeen's rich maritime history. Taken on the 30th of April, 1955, it showcases a majestic lighthouse standing tall against the backdrop of the city's bustling harbor. Aberdeen's rise as a fishing port in the late eighteenth century propelled its prosperity, attracting an increasing population and fostering industries like shipbuilding. The strategic location of this Scottish city played a crucial role in its success, enabling businesses to expand and thrive. Photographer Malcolm Dunbar skillfully portrays this iconic lighthouse, highlighting its architectural beauty amidst the tranquil waters. The absence of people allows us to fully appreciate both the grandeur of the structure and its significance within Aberdeen's nautical heritage. The monochromatic format adds a timeless quality to this image, evoking nostalgia for bygone eras when ships sailed these waters with purpose and determination. It serves as a reminder that even in today's fast-paced world, there is still value in preserving our historical landmarks.
