Donside Papermill, Aberdeen. 2008

[Gorecki]

The Donside Paper Mill was paper mill in Aberdeen, shortly to the north of Old Aberdeen and the Tillydrone area, by the River Don. Since its closure in 2001 (with the loss of approximately 250 jobs), All the mill buildings have been cleared, and the site is to be redeveloped as an “urban village” :/

Hehe, Scott Cumming

Pretty swish, I like the borders.

Cumming is a reasonably popular name in the north of Scotland....
Did that place have anything to do with Mugiemoss paper mill?

Is that council-speak for 'big, boring housing estate'?

They were separate companies, AFAIK - Mugiemoss was run by Davidsons, who were taken over by BPB; Donside was run by the Donside Paper Co. Donside was in a well dodgy area … I remember having a snoop about two and a half years ago; I parked a bit away, then realised that Tillydrone was just across the road … giving rise to the fear of returning to a car propped up on bricks.

Good that you managed to get some photos in spite of the demo men, 8333696, though I still think of you as "G".
