This week we take a look in our archives at Tillydrone through the decades with photos dating all the way back to the 1960s.
Tillydrone is a tight-knit community which has provided many a laugh for folk of all generations growing up in the area.
Our gallery sees the opening of the Tillydrone Community Centre – and later re-opening – as both old and young gathered for fun times playing games and making music.
We also have a look at the community gala in Tilly, do you have any memories of the community gala?
