I've done further research about the sites around Aberdeen to see if I could decipher the pictures in the scrapbook that I have. I guess it shouldn't be a surprise, but they are mostly photos of the famous sites that are around Aberdeen. So far, I recognise a photo of the "Bridge of Dee" in Aberdeen. I'm getting closer to figuring out which castles are pictured.
There are many pictures of a waterfall. I can't figure out which one it is. There appear to be many waterfalls in the region containing Aberdeen. I saw photos of several smaller ones, but none of them seem as powerful as this one. I didn't pay much
attention in geography class, so maybe others will have an idea of which waterfall is in the photos from the scrapbook.
Along with the pictures of the sea and the waterfall are several pictures of Stan, Tom and, I think, their parents. In one photo (left), they are wearing the rain gear that you
get when you visit a waterfall. They look a bit odd in that
picture.
After that, you see them clamoring up the rocks to take photos there. There's one of my grandfather alone, one of his parents, and one of their mother with the two boys.
In each photo, they are posed proudly.
The photo showing my great-grandparents has a lot of character, too. My great-grandfather is posed very proudly with his wife at his side.
The one with Tom (at the right) looks like he is checking his cellphone, but of course there were no cell phones then. He's fixing his coat, but someone snapped the picture too quickly. He wasn't ready.
They look very happy in these photos! It must have been an excellent family vacation. Judging from the stories I've heard, it probably was. If anyone has any information about these photos, let me know!
