I painted the "Worker's Control - Anarchy" slogan on the Cotton Street bridge in 1967..

great film . I was a student in Aberdeen 1966-70. Can you tell us exactly what year the film was shot? I could also tell you who the anarchists were.

What a great piece of film capturing the old Aberdeen. Very familiar faces at the great flea market - the Castlegate and the Green. I think I know who whitewashed the political slogans - they were a familiar sight in Aberdeen during the 1960s. Great piece of history, thanks.

@SairFechtFilms Thanks for your comments.Sounds like you must have been around in Aberdeen at the same time as myself. People don't seem to go in for directly putting up political slogans any more, do they? I suppose they post them here on youtube in video form or maybe on Facebook or Twitter? Anyway, I didn't have a lot of time to be involved in any direct action in Aberdeen in those days ,so I wouldn't have a clue who these sloganists were.

Excellent footage, did you know there are plans to build a civic square on the site of Union Terrace ? The memories you have captured will be lost forever. Please consider sending a copy of your film to the Scottish Screen Archive.
