About MeThe view shows a mix of the medieval and the modern with the city's Tolbooth (smaller spire with clock) sitting adjacent to the new Town House built from Kemnay granite. In the foreground is relic from the early modern period, the Market Cross and on the street runs the then most modern of forms of transport electric trams, introduced in 1899.
