For more than 80 years, the Stonehaven Open Air Swimming Pool has provided enjoyment for children and adults alike.
Millions of memories have been created there, from spending the whole summer holidays splashing around to experiencing the Midnight swim for the first time.
The pool is gearing up to open for the season in a couple of weeks time and to celebrate, we’ve taken a look through our archives for photographs from through the years.
