“Up in the marine operations tower, five levels high, the vista is breath-taking, a 180 degree visual panorama: Royal Deeside’s distant hills, the city and most of its harbour quays and out to the North Sea. I drew there on many occasions building up a visual knowledge in my sketch books for working further on a large work back in my studio: I watched in the quiet company of the vessel traffic services officers, the ebb and flow of the harbour’s maritime traffic activities.- Sue Jane Taylor

This harbour has always fascinated me, my main focus being its two distinctive iconic panoramas: Upper Dock, located in the heart of the city and the view from Marine Operations Centre tower at North Pier, the gateway to the open sea.
