This week we delve through the archives to look back at memories of the Ruthrieston area of Aberdeen.
The area in the west of the city has been at the forefront of fundraising campaigns for charities looking after the elderly community in the north-east with several events featuring below.
In the 1980s, construction of the Ruthrieston House care home could not be avoided in the area.
The care home is still at the heart of the area to this day and accommodates 41 residents.
We also get a sad reminder of just how times have changed with a full lunch costing only 35p at Ruthrieston Community Centre – if they’re still looking for members to the luncheon club then sign me up!
