Historical footage of the Marine Laboratory in Aberdeen
July 15, 2015 by Marine Scotland Communications No Comments | Category Marine Directorate general, Marine Directorate Science
Did you know that marine and fisheries science has been happening in Aberdeen since the late 1800s? And fisheries protection has been happening since the late 1700s?
As part of a historical exhibition about Marine Scotland in Peterhead two years ago, we created a brochure that tells you all about where Marine Scotland came from – but if you want to see some historical footage from the 1970s, the British Film Institute have released a film about Aberdeen that was made in 1970 and, if you skip forward to just after the 7 minute and 30 second marker, you’ll see some footage from our marine laboratory in Aberdeen.
