There is an essence of timelessness in Aberdeen, and has been for two weeks. The hands of the clock in the N. G. Kerk’s tower went on a go-slow journey, and then eventually stopped. The chimes are absent, and a strange stillness inhabits the area around the church. There is no longer a necessity, if you are awake that is, to switch on the light as the half-hour chimes once, to see if it is 1 in the morning, or simply half-past the hour. As the sunset last night the glow from the sky lit up the church clock showing an unbelievable 10 minutes to 11am.
