More than 60 guests were treated to a preview of The Albyn in Aberdeen yesterday ahead of its opening this afternoon.

Individuals were invited to sample the lunch and dinner offering at the bar and restaurant on Albyn Place to help prepare the staff of the launch of the venue which opens at noon.

Following a seven-figure investment, new owners Simon Cruickshank and his wife, Christie, are looking forward to resurrecting the Aberdeen institute and bringing a new lease of life to the venue.

Set across four floors, it is just the main floor on the ground level which will open to customers for the meantime.

Inside guests will find a bar area which seats 60 and the restaurant which accommodates around 100 diners.

Guests were also treated to a range of cocktails, mocktails and prosecco, with evening visitors welcome to sample other drinks, too.
