A building which has been a focal point of the Granite City skyline for almost half a century is finally being reduced to rubble.
The long-awaited final phase of demolition work on St Nicholas House, the former headquarters of Aberdeen City Council, began yesterday.
The process had been delayed for around two weeks due to health and safety concerns.
But these have been resolved, and two “nibbler” machines are currently being used to remove what remains of the Broad Street and Flourmill Lane building.
The demolition of the premises is paving the way for a £107million revamp aimed at transforming the heart of the city centre.
