About MeAn accomplished painter in watercolours, Seaton made two views of Aberdeen that were later adapted by Alexander Nasmyth for the oil paintings in Aberdeen City's collection. This interesting view shows the early 19th century cityscape along the River Dee. More About Me
The Church of Saint Nicholas and Tolbooth tower (both still standing), and (now demolished) Castle are all visible in this view across the Dee
