Aberdeen residents rejoiced when the Brutalist abomination that was St Nicholas House was demolished. Any celebrations were short lived however as plans were soon revealed for a replacement development: Marischal Square. Once again tiny Provost Skene's House - a 4 star historic attraction dating from 1545 - would be swallowed up by a concrete, steel and glass behemoth. As seen in the image construction is now well underway, and unobstructed views of the medieval building are once again a thing of the past.
