Step back in time: Photographic memories of Shell’s symbolic Aberdeen headquarters

Step back in time: Photographic memories of Shell’s symbolic Aberdeen headquarters

When Shell opened its Tullos complex, it was described as the oil company’s Aberdeen nerve centre, “making the city the centre of the North Sea industry”.

The distinctive, triangular building on Altens Farm Road, with its gold-tinted windows, is a familiar landmark as you drive up Wellington Road.

Visible from Torry, Shell’s headquarters on the hill has dominated the Tullos skyline since it was officially opened by Prime Minster Margaret Thatcher in September 1979.
