Afterwards we met two nice young Ladies who took us for a Walk through the Aristocratic Part of Aberdeen where we saw some beautiful Mansion's all built of Grey Granite & standing well back from the Footpaths & each place had beautiful Lawns & Flower Beds which were at their best, the Streets were very clean & long Avenue of Chestnut Trees were growing, a number had Small Red Flowers while others were Yellow. We all promenaded about enjoying the Scenery & also the Young Ladies Company until close on 11 Pm when we said Good Bye & both returned to our Hotel, well satisfied with another day's enjoyment.
