EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of a scenic drive through Aberdeen, Scotland, in the early 1900s. The image showcases the exhilaration of motoring in an open-top car, as the passengers, dressed in their finest attire, prepare for an unforgettable journey. The lady passengers in the back seat are seen donning elaborate face coverings and scarf assemblies, shielding themselves from the harsh elements of the Scottish weather. The wind whips through their hair, and the midges, a common nuisance in Aberdeenshire, are kept at bay by the protective netting. The motorcar, a symbol of luxury and status during this era, boasts a spacious interior with back seats that offer ample room for passengers to enjoy the breathtaking views of the Aberdeenshire countryside. The open-top design allows them to fully immerse themselves in the sights, sounds, and smells of their surroundings. This photograph, taken in 1903, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the pleasure and freedom that came with motoring during this period. The image is a testament to the rich history of transportation in Scotland and the enduring allure of a scenic drive through the picturesque landscapes of Aberdeen and beyond.
