Located on the main area of Union Street, it is one of the oldest and still much used. It was called The Trinity Centre Aberdeen until 2006 when the name changed. On Saturday 14 August 2010 The Mall Aberdeen reverted back to the original name after being bought over by Rockspring Property Investment Managers.

My new novel:
The Aberdeen skies are under attack from an enemy jet. It is spilling a strange yellow smoke. Minutes later, people start killing each other.
Former Royal Air Force Regiment Gunner Jason Harper witnesses this and then his wife, Pippa, telephones him, shouting that she needs him. They then get cut off. He sets straight out, unprepared for the nightmare that unfolds during his journey. Everyone seems to want to kill him.
Along the way, he pairs up with fellow survivor Imogen. But she enjoys killing the living dead far too much. Will she kill Jason in her blood thirst? Or will she hinder his journey through this zombie filled dystopian landscape to find his pregnant wife?
The Fence is the first in this series of post-apocalyptic military survival thrillers from the torturous mind of local horror and science fiction novel writer C.G. Buswell.

The renaming event in 2010 was marked by the release of 100 blue balloons to signify the new brand colours. Staff were dressed in 1980s costumes to reflect the history of the bulding since it opened first in 1984. For example the security guards were dressed as characters from the film Ghostbusters and the operations manager was outfitted like a flamboyant Freddie Mercury. Customers were invited to come dressed as 1980s characters and prizes were awarded in this fancy dress competition. The winners were dressed as Barbie and Michael Jackson and won a prize of £25 vouchers. There was also free vouchers and kids entertainment such as children face painting.
It was built in 1984 and named after the former Trinity Hall on which Primark now stands. It was due to open on 27 September but the opening was delayed and it was officially opened on 12 October 1984.
Have you seen my beautiful golden retriever Lynne out and about in Aberdeen? Ask her for a high-five! She's a Bravehound PTSD assistance dog, so we'll often be in shops, restaurants, and the cinema together.
We've written a book where I talk about growing up in Aberdeen and then joining the army to be a medic and nurse, and developing military Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
I also talk about losing my son to suicide and the therapy I have had at Royal Cornhill Hospital and grief support groups in Aberdeen.
The author, Damien Lewis, said of Lynne:
"A powerful account of what one dog means to one man on his road to recovery. Both heart-warming and life-affirming. Bravo Chris and Lynne. Bravo Bravehound."

Littlewoods was located where Primark is now. It closed in early 2006 around the time when it was renamed and Primark opened on the 9 December 2006. At the time it was the largest Primark shop in Scotland.
Before it was built the front shops on Union Street were Littlewoods, McMillan's and Timpson Shoes (where the front is now located). The Pizza Hut restaurant next door was the Lyric Restaurant in the 1970s.
Master Reiki healer and teacher Carol Leslie performs the ancient healing art of Reiki most Thursday afternoons. She can be found just outside the Passion for Perfume shop. Donations from her Reiki Healing are donated to their nominated charity which for 2007 is VSA. For 2006 it was Northsound Radio station charity Cash For Kids.

. Carol Leslie also practices Reiki healing at her therapy room in Ellon.
Each Easter they hold an Easter Egg appeal. Shoppers are asked to donate one of any size which are then donated to children's organisations and charities throughout the City, such as Barnardos. In the first year of 2000 there were 200 chocolate eggs donated. In 2006 this rose dramatically to 2202 as more generous Aberdonians learnt about it.
In 2007 it underwent a £1 million refurbishment. This was the first time since opening in 1984 that the roof had been worked on. The aluminium vaulted ceiling was replaced with a new roof that would allow more light making it much brighter and lighter for customers and staff.
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
On the 17 December 1992 the famous and much loved car Chitty Chitty Bang Bang came to visit the children. It was driven by Santa Claus and the event was arranged by Debenhams with the help of the car's owner Pierre Hicton.
