🔥 The grim 1659 riverbank trial that marked one of the darkest days in Scotland's witch trial history.

🏰 A 13th-century bridge built by one of medieval Scotland’s wealthiest women that still stands tall today.

🚲 And the brilliant local blacksmith who invented the pedal bicycle... only to cause history’s very first cycling traffic incident! 👮‍♂️

Had a nice weekend in Aberdeen with my better half, went to the jail at Peterhead and a good cheeky wee night out in the city, met some lovely friendly aberdonians.
