Housing some of Scotland’s most notorious offenders, Peterhead Prison closed at the end of 2013.
Built in 1888, it was orignally designed to hold around 200 innmates and was Scotland’s only convict prison.
The establishment was almost shut down in the late 1980s after a five-day riot that saw officer Jackie Stewart paraded by prisoners and held hostage on the roof.
Last year, the premises were replaced by HMP Grampian, the first Scottish prison with both adults and young offenders of both sexes.
These pictures show the insitution through the years, from felons working at Stirling Hill Quarry to old fashioned cells like the silent room.
