From youth shows to Aberdeen events, our archives are full of snapshots into the past.

Here are images featuring north-east residents from 1952 to 1991 along with their original captions from time of publication.

1983: Traffic wardens in Aberdeen's busy Union Street were all at sea when this 17ft boat ran aground. But as owner Ally Stephen revealed they were really quite friendly when they saw the unscheduled docking was unavoidable. For Shalako shed a wheel near the busy Market Street junction, and had to be left while Ally fetched tools to repair the stipped wheel nuts. Ally got the Shalako just over a year ago and keeps it at Stonehaven harbour. He was transporting the boat for a refit before the summer season. And with the benefit of some roadside repairs she was ready to finish her journey - after proving that not every master of a boat gets a ticket.
1952: A sunny day led to a busy scene at Aberdeen beach.
1988: Crowds flocked to sun soaked Ballater yesterday for the 115th annual Highland Games. Only one brief shower marred the otherwise perfect afternoon at Montaltrie Park - the site of the event for the last 99 years.
