Scope and Content Aberdeen Harbour, Aberdeenshire This harbour was in use for many centuries before improvement started in the 1770s. It was originally a natural harbour at the mouth of the river Dee, which was diverted in the 1860s and 70s. This view shows the remains of the south breakwater built by Thomas Telford and completed in 1816. This was cut back after the new breakwater was completed in 1873. The north pier in the background was built between 1775 and 1877. The north pier was the first major improvement work. The first section was designed by John Smeaton and built1775-81. It was extended by Thomas Telford in 1810-16, and completed to its present length in 1874-7. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
