"I am told there are still bullet or machine gun fire marks on the Town Hall."

Around the houses in the Kittybrewster, Bedford Road (Railway yard) area as well.

I'll have a look tonight for 44 Fraser place damage  in my files.

Just had a look at Aberdeen 1940 Air raid shelter map, Citidel not lised as a public shelter, nearest were two surface shelters at Union St/Castle street area, 3 trench shelters in ship row. Trench shelter at Cotton street.

I've not heard of bullet marks on the town hall, need to investigate that for a book I am currently writing to follow up the 1st one.

There are bullet marks on grave stones at the trinity Cemetery

Sorry if I confused you when I mentioned the Salvation Army Citadel, what I was trying to say that it was a beautiful tall building in the Castle Gate, and I was surprised that it was never damaged.  Thanks for everything else.

No worries.

Have since spoken to a contact in the council for ww2 bullet holes in Aberdeen, so watch this space....

[jessienicolson]

thank you.

Just had it confirmed from my cousin in Aberdeen that the concrete shelters that were in Park Street and also my grandparents tenement at 29 Cotton Street, Aberdeen, had one door, a passage way with two rooms off. Perhaps you know this already.
