"Is a royal burgh of great antiquity, and one of the most important cities in Scotland for wealth and population. It is pleasantly situated on the western shore of the German Ocean in latitude 57° 8' 58" N. [North], and longitude 2° 5' 42" W. [West] on the north bank of the River Dee, which there, forms the south boundary of Aberdeenshire. In regard to its antiquity, we find special mention made of it in the time of Gregory, King of Scotland, who died in the year 893, in the Castle of Dunnideer in the Garioch, which is distant from Aberdeen, about 28 miles to the north-west. The earliest Charter extant is one by King William the Lion, dated at Perth 1179, confirming to the burgesses of Aberdeen all that their ancestors had enjoyed in the time of his grandfather David I. This Charter is earlier than that of any other burgh in Scotland. William subsequently granted two other Charters, both dated at Aberdeen 28th August 1196, with more extensive privileges and exemptions. He also built a palace near the east end of the Green, and had also an Exchequer, with a mint for the Coinage of money, in the west end of Castle Street, the site of which is still known by the name of Exchequer Row. Alexander II. by a charter dated 27th February, 1222-23, granted and confirmed to the burgesses of Aberdeen the privileges which were enjoyed by those of Perth, - such as, liberty of holding weekly markets, to which alone all the country merchants were to bring their goods for sale, etc. King Robert the Bruce, by a Parliamentary grant, annexed to Aberdeen, for the support of its political dignity, more ample possessions than those enjoyed by any other royal burgh in the kingdom. And David II, with the sanction of a Parliament held in Aberdeen, passed a charter in 1342, confirming to the burgesses and the community all that they had enjoyed from his royal predecessors. But its great Charter, and the latest, is that by Charles I., dated at Oatlands 9th Septr [September] 1638. It narrates that his "Illustrious ancestors of immortal memory" had erected Aberdeen "one of the most ancient and illustrious burghs in all the kingdom of Scotland into a "Royal Burgh," and that, by the "virtue, industry, and diligence of the worthy inhabitants thereof, endowed with virtue," it had become a "populous city, famous for humanity and renown and much extolled above all other burghs and cities whatsoever in the north," and confirms all former Charters, Acts of Parliament, grants, gifts etc., made at any time in favor of the Provost, Baillies, Councillors, and community, in regard to the property, government, jurisdiction, trade, and commerce etc. of the City. This Charter was subsequently confirmed by Parliament. During the years 1511, 1537, 1562 and 1650." |

"the city was honoured with visits from the then reigning sovereigns, and on 7th September 1848 Her Most Gracious Majesty, Queen Victoria, the Prince Consort and part of the Royal Family honoured the City with a visit also, on their way to the palace at Balmoral, about 50 miles westward. New and Old Aberdeen are names which are apt to mislead. What is now called Old Aberdeen was originally called Kirk Town of Seaton, and it was not till after the burning of Aberdeen by the English in 1336, when, Phoenix-like, it rose again from its ashes, that it was called New Aberdeen, while, in reality, it is by far the more ancient of the two. The City records commence so early as 1398, and are nearly complete to the present time. They afford interesting materials for a history of its rise and progress from a village of about 3,000 inhabitants, to and elegant, populous, and wealthy city. The original buildings seem to have been situated in the vicinity of the Green and Shiprow, and to have gradually extended over the eminences known by the names of St Catherine's hill (part of which was levelled in laying out Union Street,) Broad Street, Gallowgate, Porthill, Schoolhill, and Woolmanhill.
The Castlehill was unquestionably occupied as a military station in very remote times, but there were no houses on the south side of Castle Street hill after the commencement of the 16th Century; and the low grounds adjoining the Quay, now occupied by Virginia Street, James Street, lower half of Commerce Street etc., were not recovered from the tide till about the middle of the 17th Century. Many of the present streets, such as Queen Street, Marischal Street, Belmont Street etc., and much of the suburb called Gilcomston, were all built during the latter part of the last century. Since which period the alterations, improvements, and extension of the city have been truly astonishing. Aberdeen, as it now appears, is chiefly of modern date. The old wooden houses which stood in some of its principal streets have long since disappeared, and been replaced by elegant edifices of granite; - in short, the greater number of its streets and public buildings have been erected since the commencement of the present century. The approaches to the town are spacious; and, as they are carried in direct lines, the old, narrow, and circuituous streets and lanes are entirely one-sided. In entering from the north-west by George Street, or from the north-east by King Street, the former will be found wide and regular, the latter, handsome and elegant; - but the approaches from the south and west are most splendid. These meet at Union Place, and thence proceed in a straight line through Union Street to Castle Street, which is said to be the largest market place of any town in Scotland. The Parliament boundary of the burgh as defined by the Reform Act of 1832, includes the Old Town, and a great portion of ground belonging to the Parish of Old Machar; which Parliamentary burgh has been divided for the convenience of polling into 5 wards or districts. The present Member of Parliament for the City is Colonel W.H. Sykes. The number of Parliamentary voters on the roll during 1865 was 3872. Under the Reform Act, the Magistrates and Councillors are elected by the Parliamentary electors within the burgh, which is, for convenience of polling, divided into 3 Municipal Wards, each of which sends 6 representatives to the Town Council -" |

"Of these, two retire from each ward every year, and their places are of course supplied by a new election. The number of Municipal voters during 1865 was 2825. By a Charter of Charles I., 1638, the Provost of Aberdeen, for the time being, is ordained high Sheriff and coroner, and the baillies, his deputy Sheriffs and coroners within the Town and Liberties. About the end of the 18th Century, an act of the Town Council devolved the powers of this Court on the 4 baillies, who have since that period sat successively for 3 months each, attended by a legal assessor - The Dean of Guild Court, is a burgh court established by the Council in 1609, who subsequently committed to it the duty of examining and reporting on the qualification of candidates for burgesships. Since 1833 the Dean and his twelve assessors have been chosen by the burgesses. The Dean is also custodian of the standard weights and measures. The Corporation of Guildry of Aberdeen is a very ancient body, and appears to have been in existence at the end of the 12th Century. The receipt of the City Treasury, for the year 1855 was £24,033.13.8, and expenditure for the same period, was £21,069.2.9. For police purposes the city and suburbs are divided into 9 wards each of which returns two Commissioners, who, with four Commissioners ex officiis, are intrusted with the power of carrying the police act into effect. The City Arms are gules, three towers, triple towered, within a double tressure, counter flowered argent, supported by two leopard cats, proper; the motto, is aro escroll above,
"Bon Accord"; and upon the reverse of the seal, in a field azure, is a temple argent, St Nicholas standing in the porch, mitred and vested proper, with his dexter hand lifted up to heaven, praying over three children in a boiling caldron of the first, and holding in the sinister hand a Crosier.
The edifices of Aberdeen, both public and private, are for the most part constructed of a very fine granite from the neighboring quarries; and those of the modern and principal streets are so clean, so massive, so uniformly surfaced, and reflect the light so clearly from the glittering mica of the granite as to look, on a sunny day, as if they had been hewn and polished from the rocks on which they stand. Union Street is about a mile long, spacious, straight, and elegantly edificed, well gemmed with public buildings, and altogether one of the finest streets of the empire. The other institutions of Aberdeen, educational, benevolent, religious, literary, and miscellaneous, and very many and various, and do great honor to the city. The chief are several free schools, several largely endowed schools, several partially endowed schools, a boys' hospital, a girls' hospital, a female orphan hospital, a ragged school, a house of refuge, a mechanics' institution, an asylum for the blind, a magdalene asylum, a number of mortifications and funds for behoof of the poor and the sick and the aged, a ladies' working society, a clothing society, females' society, a general dispensary, a saving's bank, a seamen's friend society, many missionary, tract, and sabbath-school societies, five public libraries, a medical society, and advocates' society, a shipmasters' society, and an agricultural society. But immensely the grandest Institution is Marischal College. This" [was founded by George Keith, fifth Earl-Marischal, in April 1593.] |

"This hospital was originally founded by Bishop Gavin Dunbar, in the year 1531. and designed for the benefit of twelve old Men, who, by Misfortunes, or otherwise, might happen to be reduced to indigence, particularly inhabitants of the bishop's lands, who enjoyed a preference to all others. By the Charter of foundation, which is dated 13 February 1531, and Confirmed by King James V. under the great seal upon the 24th of the same Month. the founder granted to the institution an annuity of £100 Scottish Money, to which he has acquired right from John Lord Erskine, and which was payable from the fee farm of the borough of Aberdeen. He also granted to it the ground on which the hospital was built, near the Cathedral. The beadsmen were allowed ten Merks Yearly, besides one Merk each for purchasing a white Coat, and also ten Merks for procuring fuel for their Common use. The Bishop was formerly patron of the institution; but after the Revolution, the Patronage and administration of the funds of the hospital were vested by King William, in the Principal and sub-Principal of King's College, and the Minister of Old Machar. Since that time, a second Minister has been added to the Parish; but owing to the date of the erection of his office being Posterior to |

The Bishop's Palace which Stood at the east end of the Cathedral Consisted of a quadrangular Court of buildings, having a small turret at each of the angles, there was a covered passage from the Palace to the Cathedral. During the Revolution it fell a prey to the Covenanters, and when the English occupied the town of Aberdeen in 1651 they demolished the buildings and used the Stones in the erection of fortifications on the Castlehill. The Palace does not seem to have been an extensive Structure nor of much splendour as appears from the Catalogue of its furniture found in it after the death of Bishop Gordon in 1518 when the Church was in its most flourishing Condition. The gardens and pleasure ground attached to it seem to have been both beautiful and extensive. The Palace was rebuilt by Bishop Spens about the year 1459, the original edifice having been destroyed in the year 1336. |

A short distance east of the Bishop's Palace there formerly Stood one of the Ports or gates of the Canonry. It was probably erected about the year 1459 when the palace was rebuilt by Bishop Speirs. It does not appear to have had any Proper name by which it was Known, Such as two of the Ports had viz Cluny's Port, and Chaplains Port. |

King William's grant, he has no concern with the hospital. Within the last century several donations and bequests have been made to the institution by benevolent individual. As the lodging of the beadsmen, and providing for them in the hospital, was found to be attended with Many inconveniences, the house and grounds belonging to it were sold, several years ago, and the price appropriated to the common funds, which by Care and attention of the administrators, have increased to upwards of £2000 sterling. There are now eighteen old men who participate of the annual revenue derived from these funds. In modern times, benefactors to the institution, to a certain extent, are entitled by its rules, to present indigent persons to the benefit of this Charitable foundation. Refectory, Oratory and twelve dormitories." The hospital stood about a hundred yards west of the Church.

was made in the work during his life time, for it advanced only six Cubits in height at the time of his death in 1381. His successors
proceeded in the undertaking, according to the extent of their means, but it was only about the Year 1430 that Bishop Lychtoun laid the foundations of the great Steeple on the east end of it, and the two towers on the West end. Bishop Lindsay his Successor made further progress and completed the roof of the Nave about the Year 1445.

being disappointed of the spoil of the jewels and sacred ornaments of the Cathredal they stripped the lead off the roof and took away the bells, they also demolished the Choir and Chancel at the east end. The further progress of the work of destruction was fortunately prevented by the Marquis of Huntly who by
his exertions saved the building from being completely destroyed. In the Year 1688 a serious disaster happened to the edifice, the lofty steeple on the east end, fell and crushed all the eastern part of the fabric, destroyed Many of the sepulchral Monuments and materially injured part of the Nave, the
height of this steeple was 150 feet and in three days it was used as a sea-mark, its fall,
according to tradition, was occasioned by part of the stones of the buttresses having been removed by the English army stationed in Aberdeen during the Protectorate for the purpose of erecting some fortifications on the Castle Hill, being thus considerably weakened, it at length Yielded to the pressure of the Superstructure. The two towers on the west end are 112 feet high, and in the southmost one there is an excellent public clock and bell to which there is access by a stair. The body of the Church remained in a neglected state for many Years.
In 1607 it was repaired at the expense of the parishioners of Old Machar. During episcopacy in Scotland it served as a Cathedral, but it is now used as a Parish Church and has been fitted up to serve as such having accommodation for 1600 hearers. In the east end of the Church there still remains one of the Gothic Arches which supported the great Steeple but it is now build up for enclosing the Church, the Columns of this arch are entire, and resemble trunks of trees bound together, their Capitals have been ornamented, and disp [display] |

In the south aisle of the transept which is termed Bishop Dunbar's Aisle, there is an ornamental arch, part of his tomb in which his effigy in Marble lay in a recumbent posture, but at the reformation it was broken and the tomb defaced his body lies in the Vault below. In the North Aisle of the transept which is termed St John's Aisle are the remains of Bishop Lychtoun's tomb, altho it also suffered at the reformation, there is still to be seen an effigy of the Bishop "in Pontificalibus" at full length. There were several other Bishops interred within those two aisles but they have only common gravestones. After the Revolution, and the abolition of episcopacy in Scotland the Principal and Proffessors of King's College exercised their right of presenting Ministers to this Church. about a Century and a half ago it became a Collegiate Charge. Since that time two Clergymen who draw their Stipend from the tythes of the Parish, have officiated as Ministers. The patronage of the Church being, in Modern times, of little importance to the College, was sold to the Earl of Fife who presents both Ministers. The Church is surrounded by a burial ground very much crowded with graves, the main entrance to it is from the south west corner the gate being betwixt two very neat lodges. |

Several Years after it was built the Bishop of Aberdeen in process of time feued out to people (the inhabitants) both houses and land about this ancient City which was at first a village of four ploughs and had a little church where the Cathedral now Stands dedicated to St Machar but became important
when David I brought within the bishops see from Mortlach.

On the north side of King's College is the ancient Chapel. which, in its original state, has bee a beautiful Edefice, having a small neat spire Springing from the roof. It was many years ago, divided, the west end being Converted into a spacious room for the library, and the East end into the Public School. This part of the chapel, which appears to have been appropriated to the Choir, remains almost as entire as when in its original state, allowance being for the ravages of time. The windows in the chancel, in the East End, has been built up probably soon after the Reformation. Here is placed an ancient oaken Pulpit, with a reader's desk, close upon the wall, where the Altar had formerly stood. At a little distance is the double tombstone of Bishop Elphinston. raised a few feet above the Choir, without any inscription upon it, and, on the North side of it, on a level with the floor; is that of Principal Boice. On each side of the Chancel are placed pews for the accommodation of the members of the Synod of Aberdeen when that reverend held its occasional assemblies in old Aberdeen. In the East end, on each side, are the stalls of the prebendaries of the College, with their highly enriched Canopies, placed against the walls, They are all in black oak. carved according to the fashion of the time, and have originally been handsome. The seats of the stalls, also of oak fold back on hinges, and when turned up, display a variety of curious figures neatly carved upon them On one of these may be observed I.H.S. which have escaped the ravages of the Reformers The lofty ceiling of the whole of the Chapel is an alcove of oak done with taste, in ornamented Gothic pannelling The chapel was originally fitted up in a magnificent style by Bishop Elphinston and amply furnished by him with Splendid sacred ornaments and vestments for the prebendaries in the celebration of religious rites. The front of the chapel is ornamented with Several Coats of Arms, in Compartments, principally on the buttresses which support the Side Wall. |

This was the only other religious institution excepting the Cathedral, in ancient times, at Old Aberdeen. It was founded by Bishop Elphinston, in Consequence of a bull from Pope Alexander VI. dated 1st March 1497. The Church which was dedicated to St Mary ad-nives, and situated on the South extremity of the City, was designed for the devotional exercises of the parishioners, after the erection of the Cathedral had been completed for divine Service. In the year 1499 the Bishop annexed the Church and the Vicarage to the College, then recently instituted, and, in the year 1503, he, with consent of the Rector and Chaplain of St Peter's Hospital, allocated to the Rector of the Church, who was the Dean of the chapter, a Manse, and a glebe, from the Hospital in its close vicinity. After the Reformation, the Church, with the Paronage and Vicarage, was granted by King James VI. to King's College, and confirmed by an Act of Parliament in the year 1617. The only part which remains of the ecclesiastical foundation is the cemetery, used as a place of sepulture by some of the Roman Catholic families of Aberdeen |

The universities established in Scotland previous to the Reformation were instituted, according to the model of Paris and Bononia, under Papal authority, and confirmed by the King. The chief design, perhaps, of those seminaries was to afford the means of instruction to Ecclesiastics, but their general object, undoubtedly, was to promote the education of youth in the various branches of Science, and thereby to diffuse Knowledge among a rude and barbarous people. The institution of the university and King's College of Aberdeen, which, in the order of time, was the third in Scotland, was originally designed by William Elphinston, Bishop of Aberdeen, who filled the high offices of Chancellor and of Privy Seal of Scotland, successively, under King James IV. and was also distinguished for many act of benevolence, and for the zeal with which he promoted public and noble works within his diocese. At his solicitation, King James requested and obtained from Pope Alexander VI. a bull, dated at Rome February 10th, 1494, for instituting, at the famous City of Old Aberdeen,
a university, or general study, as well in theology, the canon and civil law, as in medicine, the liberal Arts. and in every lawful faculty, in the same manner as in the Universities of Paris and Bononia. By the Apostolical authority, ecclesiastics, laics, masters, and doctors, were ordained to instruct those who came to prosecute their studies, from whatsoever places, in the same manner as in the privilaged universities, and the students were to receive their degrees, according to their respective faculties, and their proficiency in their several branches of learning. By the same authority Bishop Elphinston and his successors, prelates of Aberdeen, were appointed Chancellor of the University, and were invested with the power of
conferring degrees of baccalaureat, licentiate, Master of Arts, and doctor, in the learned professions. |

The King, in his letter to the Pope, gave a most deplorable account of the barbarous state, at that time, of the North or highlands of Scotland. He stated, "that the inhab [inhabitants] were ignorant of letters, and also uncivilized, that there were no persons to be found fit to prea [preach] the word of God to the people, or to administer the Sacraments of the church, and besides that the country was so intersected with Mountains and arms of the Sea, So distant from the universities already erected, and the roads so dangerous, that the youth had not access to the benefit of Education in these seminaries," But, at the same time, the King observed, "that the City of Old Aberdeen was situated at a modern distance from the highland country and Northern islands enjoyed an excellent temperature of air, abundance of provisions, and the conveniency of habitation and every thing necessary for the comfort of human life." Althoug two universities had b [been] deemed sufficient for the whole of England, and two had already been established in Scotland those circumstances mentioned in the King's letter were powerful inducement to the Pope to grant his authority for the institution of a third in the northern part of this Kingdom. It was firstly remark [remarked] in the bull, which seems to have been readily obtained, that while the distribution of other things le [--] their power, science had this distinguished quality, that the diffusion of it tended not to diminish b [but] to increase and spread the general stock of Knowledge. King James confirmed the Pope's bull upon 22nd May 1497. Bishop Elphinston made provision by no means illiberal, for the future suppor [support of] the institution, by granting to it lands and other property, which he had acquired for the purpose, at the time of his death, which happened in the Year 1514. he further bequeathed to it the sum of [--] Scottish money, for completing the benificent plan. of which he had already made so much progress |

King's College King James was, in like manner, a liberal benefactor to the University, and soon after its commencement there were annexed to it, either by means of the King or by the Bishop, the Parsonages of Aberluthnot, Glenmuick, and Glengarden, and of Slains, the Churches of St Mary-ad-nives, and of Auchindore, the Vicarage of Tullinessel, the half town and lands of Dunlugas, the town and lands of Audiel, Balmakeddel, Collyin, Berryhill, Mondurno. with certain Crofts lying in the territories of the royal borough of Aberdeen, an annuity of £20 Scottish money arising from the barony of Belhelvie, nineteen merks from the Salmon fishings of Banff, £12.6.8 from the lands of Orde, Montbrae, Blairshyannocht, and Certain other lands in Boyne, an annuity of £5 arising from the lands of Udach £4 from the lands of Pettie, the lands and revenues which had formerly belonged to ancient Hospital of St Germans, in Lothian, the lands upon which the College was erected, and those surrounding it. All these grants and privileges were afterwards Confirmed by a Charter from King James V. dated at Aberdeen 7th February 1527. In the Year 1505. Bishop Elphinston, in consequence of the ample powers invested in him by those Authorities,
published the first foundation, by he erected and endowed a college of students and masters, upon a most liberal and extensive plan, and under many salutary regulations, for the government of the members of their respective departments. It was dedicated to the Name of the Virgin Mary, but afterwards distinguished that of "Royal College" or King's College of Aberdeen. King Charles I. was pleased. by a charter dated November 8th 1641 to incorporate this and Marischal College into one University to be called, in all time afterwards, "King Charles' University of Aberdeen." This union was further confirmed by an act of Oliver Cromwell, in the Year 1654 and continued to subsist till after the reformation. Doctor James Fraser of Chelsea, about the year 1725 -- contributed about £1400 sterling towards the expense of Repairing the edifice, of furnishing additional books to the library, and of Rebuilding a great part of the South side of the College, which had become ruinous. Besides this liberal donation, he founded two bursaries, one in Philosophy, and another in theology, a short time before his death. The erection of the buildings of the College Commences about the year 1500. as appears from the latin inscription upon the west and of the Chapel. It consists of a quadrangular Court, these structures Surrounding although erected at different periods, and in various orders of architecture Combine, altogether, an edifice, which is by no means inelegant |

King's College in the South west corner of the court there is a lofty square tower, strengthened by buttresses, and covered with a flat roof, having on the top a parapet, over which springs from each of its corners a slip of stone work, highly ornamented. These slips meet at the top, and form four open arches, in imitation of an imperial crown. On the top of this structure is a stone lantern, Surmoun [Surmounted] by another imperial crown of stone work, with a globe and cross. The whole of this work has been neatly and handsomely finished. In the Year 1633, the superstructure of this tower was demolished by a violent tempest, but it was soon afterwards rebuilt, nearly according to its ancient form. It contained, in former times, thirteen melodious bells, which had been furnished at the expense of Bishop Elphinston, but these being found superfluous, the greatest part of them were sold, many years ago, by the members of the college, for augmenting their public funds. There were also ancient Two round towers to this edifice, but one only of these now remains. The room approp [appropriated] to the library, which is formed of the west end of the chapel, was, many years ago, elegantly fitted up for the purp [purpose] In the west end is a lofty Gothic window, and galleries, to which there is an ascent by a neat double stair, oc [occupy] both sides of the Room, as well as the east end. There is also a reading room etc adjoining, The books [are] numerous, and many of them valuable. The are disposed in excellent order, in shelves, both above and below [the] galleries, and are under the charge of a librarian. There are also several ancient M.S.S. [manuscripts] elegantly done on Vellum. Among other curiosities, there an ancient coat of Mail and a warror's shirt of woven wire. By the statute of Queen Anne, for the encouragement of learning, one copy of every book entered at Stati [Stationers'] hall must be sent to this library, as well as to other universities. By these means,and by certain fun [funds] belonging to it which are applied to the purchase of book, Considerable additions are made to the collection every year. The ancient Seal of the University is a Can, with three lillies springing out of it a book, with a hand, and three salmon. It bears this motto "Sigillum Universitates Beatae Abe [Aberdoniensis] The present superior officers of the University are His Grace The Duke of Gordon, Chancellor The Right Honble [Honourable] The Earl of Aberdeen, Lord Rector. |

Mr. James Clark

Kennedy's Annals of Aberdeen |
075 |
This hospital, which was situated a little beyond the south precincts of the city, was founded by Matthew
Kyninmunde, bishop of Aberdeen in the reign of King William the Lion. It was dedicated to "Saint Peter, the Chief of the apostles," and designed for the reception and support of indigent and infirm persons, who might resort to it. Besides these Charitable purposes, the institution was intended for celebrating masses in it for the soul of King William, and of his ancestors and successors, as well as for the soul of the founder, according to the Custom of the age. By the charter of foundation, Bishop Kyninmunde granted and assigned, as a provision to the institution, the lands of Ardschilly, Petenderlyn, Carnaherde, and Ardonachyn, with the lands surrounding the hospital, now distinguished by the name of Spital; and also the tenth of the *can of the escheals, and other fines payable to the bishop; of the tenth of corn and malt, of fish and of flesh, and of other articles, which were usually appropriated to the episcopal table. Kennedy's Annals of Aberdeen -----------
*Can, Cain, Canum, Signify the duty, Custom, or tribute, which was paid to the superior. It was a celtic due, in ancient times, and seems to have been payable on the products of hunting, and agriculture, of domestic Animals, as well as from the profits of traffic and shipping. --- Chalmers' Caledonia Vol. [Volume] 1.

Was situated in the hollow ground known by the name of the leper or sick house croft lying betwixt the Gallowhills and the Spittal road. The hospital seems to have been erected about the middle of the sixteenth century, when the leprosy began to be prevalent in the town. In the beginning of the eighteenth
century, when that loathsome and infectious disease had completely disappeared, the hospital became unnecessary, and was, along with the grounds belonging to it sold, under the direction of the magistrates and council, and the money received for the property was afterwards appropriated to an equally public and benevolent purpose, being the establishment of a fund for the support of persons deprived of their reason. --- Kennedy's Annals of Aberdeen. |

Archibald Simpson Esq. Architect, and has been continually receiving large additions even to the present time under the direction of William Ramage Esqr. architect. Everything characteristic of a place of confinement has been judiciously avoided, and the whole of the interior has been arranged with anxious regard to the proper classification and comfort of the patients. The airing grounds are extensive, and gardening work is furnished to all patients who are capable of such healthful exercise. This institution, is properly a branch of the Infirmary, and is under the direction of the same managers, but the funds are kept separate and distinct. The patients
are furnished with various means of indoor diversion, such as billiards, bagatelle, cards, draughts. and musical instruments; besides having such outdoor amusements as walks cricket, quiots, bowls and from time to time, visits and excursions. They are also amply provided with books, newspapers, and literary and illustrated periodicals, and have the daily attendance of an excellent and painstaking chaplain. The present number of patients in this institution is 407. Resident Physician and superintendent. Robert Jamieson M. D. [Doctor of Medicine] |

This building was erected in 1861 from the funds of the Intitution.
In 1837 the first house of this discription was established in Aberdeen in the Guest-row and on that occasion Dr. [Doctor] George Watt gave the liberal donation of a Thousand Guineas towards the establishment of this laudable Institution and in 1839 he executed a deed of Mortmain. Conveying his whole property of Old Mill (where now Stands the Old Mill Reformatory) in trust for the maintenance of this Institution. This with other liberal Contributions augmented the funds, and a house for boys was established in Sugarhouse Lane and Continued here till this present house was in readiness at which time the inmates were removed to the present building The object of the Institution is, emphatically a Hous of Refuge, to all of every class, who need its shelter and obey its dicipline, and for the relief and instruction of those Young persons, who, from the Carelessness or loss of parents. or guardians. are left to wander without a guide and without a home, exposed to every temptation and too often
to the Commission of Crime. It is not, however to be understood that this Establishment is intended for the relief of those who are entitled to Parochial Support, nor to Supersede the Charity which individuals may wish to bestow on those destitute persons. with whose circumstances and character the are personally acquainted. Still less is it intended as a Substitute for Any Kind of honest industry. by which the poor may maintain their own independence --- It is a temporary shelter for the destitute -- not intended as a permanent residence for any, but a spot wherein
the wretched may rest, for a limited period, in that fearful crisis of human destiny, when hopless poverty, unsupported by moral principal, first begins to whisper the possibility of successful Crime Continued |

To give them once more an oppertunity, with all the
concomitants of persuasion and the inducement of a fostered self-respect, to choose between the present rewards of virtuous industry, and the agonizing consequences of dissolute idleness, And more especially, a place wherein shall be proclaimed. to those who are at enmity with God. and children of his wrath, the glad tidings of Christ's pacification, to guide the footsteps of the benighted wanderer into the paths of life and peace.

A Standing Stone from which some think this Suburb has its name - Others are of opinion that as Gilcon is generally allowed to have been a man's name, this was his place of residence, or town, as men's names are sometimes given to their places of abode Hence they think the original name was Gilcom's town. But when he lived, or what he was. whether Saint, Sage, or Savage, none can tell. There is no record concerning it, nor any tradition worthy of a moment's Consideration. The Stone is about 12 feet in girth, with four very unequal Sides, and stands about 8 feet above the ground. There is another much Smaller one at a Short distance. Perhaps they are of Druidical erection |

Courage's Survey of Aberdeen 1856 |
075 |
Gallowgate Port. was situated near the extremity of the Street Known by that name, and on the S.W. [South West] Corner of the lane which leads to Porthill. As far back as the -- Year 1518, it was regarded as having pretensions to Antiquity. The royal arms, which were placed over it, having been defaced by time, were ordered to be renewed, and the fabric itself to be repaired, the expense being defrayed by the fines and forfeitures of the Courts of the borough. About the year 1768, when the number of wheel carriages had considerable increased, the Gates were found to be extremely inconveniant, and a great obstruction to loaded Carriages. An act of Council was, therefore, passed, ordaining all the Ports to be taken down; in Consequence of which they were, in the course of a few years afterwards, removed, as being altogether unnecessary, and, indeed, useless fabrics. The Keys of the gates were, in ancient times, represented by three Small Silver Keys, which were part of the insignia of the office of Chief magistrate. Accordingly, at the annual Election, they were delivered to the Provost, who was Custodier of them while in Office, and the Ceremony of delivering them to the Provost Elect, is observed to the present day

In the year 1721, this Chapel, was erected by voluntary Subscription and clergymen appointed to perform divine Services.
In the year 1743, John Rickart of Auchnacant granted to the institution or members of the congregation, a tenem [tenement]
adjacent to the Chapel, for a dwelling house to the Senior Minister; but under this express Condition, that if no lega [legally]
qualified Clergyman of the Church of England shall continue to perform religious worship in the Chapel, and the congregation cease to frequent it, then the property shall be sold for the benefit of the Infirmary and workhouse. In 1750, he bequeathed the Sum of £500 sterling, under the same Conditions. Since that time, many other donatio [donations] have been made to it, by pious and benevolent Persons, for provisions to the Clergymen, and for the Support of the establishment. The management of the funds and other affairs, are conducted by eleven persons, w [who] are elected for that purpose, by the constituent members, during life. The seat rents & collections are app [appropriated] priated to the funds destined for the clergymen's Sallaries. This is a handsome & Commodious building, and Cap [capable] of accommodating about 850 hearers. It has an Aisle on the north side, with gallaries round the whole build [building] supported by Tuscan Columns of Wood, over which are placed Ionic Columns, Supporting the roof, in the centre of which is a handsome Cupola, about nine feet in diameter, On the East end is the altar, raised two steps, & enclosed by a rail.

This building will shortly be taken down, and a new one erected in its stead, which is to cost a great sum of money. the present Officiating Clergyman is the Revd. [Reverend] F. W. B.

Gilcomston may be regarded as a part of the suburbs of Aberdeen. Although the ground on which it is built possesses many local advantages favourable for the situation of a town, having a fine sloping exposure to the south east, with a small stream of water running through it, yet no plan whatever was adopted, either for laying out regular streets or for building the houses upon any uniform design. The Consequence of neglect in this respect has been that the buildings, in general, are mean, and very irregular, many of them being Occupied by Labourers, and the lower Class of the people. |

This noble institution was originally founded on the 1st January 1740. The Town Council granted the ground for the site of the house and garden, and at the same time, resolved to contribute from the public funds under their management, a certain sum annually for the Maintenance of patients in the hospital. After being repeatedly enlarged the old buildings were entirely supplanted by the present beautiful and spacious buildings. The interior arrangements are excellent. The house affords accommodation for 300 Patients, and the medical offices are of the first standing in the City. Patients are admitted, from all the parishes in the surrounding country, which give an annual collection for the support of the institution. |

The spring rises at the foot of the slope of the Woolmanhill where the infirmary and its garden are situated. The water flows abundantly, is impregnated with iron ore and vitriol, and has been long celebrated for its medicinal qualities in nephritic disorders, or in obstructions. About the Year 1615, the spring, over which a building, ornamented with the portraits of six of the apostles, had stood during many years, attracted the attention of Dr. [Doctor] William Barclay, at that time an eminent physician. He analysed the water, and having discovered its qualities and virtues, published a treatise upon it under the title of "Callirhoe, commonly called the well of spa, or the nymph of Aberdeen". The building having fallen into decay, was afterwards repaired by George Jameson, the celebrated painter, who appears to have been subject to a nephritic complaint. The well was in high repute among the inhabitants, on account of its medicinal virtues, and frequently resorted to for relief in disorders of that nature. About the middle of the sixteenth century and extraordinary overflowing of the Den Burn which |

which runs near it demolished the building, and buried the spring among the among the rubbish of the hill. In this situation the well remained till the Year 1672, when the spring having again made its appearance, the present structure was erected over it by Alexander Skene of Newtyle one of the baillies, who had experienced relief from drinking the water. About the Year 1751, the spring disappeared for some time, but, by the exertions of Dr. [Doctor] James Gordon of Pitlurg, it was recovered and has ever since continued to flow, without interruption, Its salutary virtues are still known to many individuals, who resort to it for relief in various disorders. In the sumer months it is much frequented by the citizens particularly in the mornings.
Kennedy's Annals of Aberdeen, vol. 1. P. 388 ---
There are various inscriptions on the well, one of which is an altered quotation from Horace, The others are "As Heaven gives me, so give I thee" with a representation of the rising sun, a Scots thistle, a rose, and a lily. "Spada rediviva" 1670. Renovatum est opus MDCCCLI. [1851] |

This Hospital is perhaps one of the finest views in the City, being situated at the north extremity of an extensive lawn or garden, and occupies the principal part of the grounds formerly belonging to the Monastry of the Dominican or Black Friars, in the School-hill,
the right to which, the founder had secured in his own life time. The founder Robert Gordon. only lawful Son of Mr. Arthur Gordon, advocate, of the family of Straloch, having acquired a Competent fortune in the course of trade, as a merchant in Dantzic, returned to his native Country about the beginning of the 18th Century, and settled in Aberdeen. Although a man who had seen a good deal of the world and enjoyed the first society in the place, yet, having formed the noble design of founding an Hospital in the town, for the maintenance and Education of young boys, he denied himself for many years the Comforts and Conveniences of life, at home, that he might be better enabled to provide a fund adequate to the accomplishment of his favourite object. And in this he Completely Succeeded. On the 13th December 1729. he executed a deed of mortmain. by which he Conveyed his whole property to the Provost, Baillies, Town Council and the four Ministers of the Gospel, in Aberdeen, Commonly Called the Town's Ministers, in trust, as a fund for building the Hospital and for the maintenance and Education of Young boys, whose parents are indigent or unable to maintain them at Schools. and to put them to trades & Employments. By that deed the trustees are declared to be perpetual Patrons, and Governors of the Hospital for those benevolent purposes, And boys are entitled to be received unto it according to the following order -- |

Contain a variety of rules & regulations. for the better government of the hospital and for its internal Economy. Mr. Gordon. the founder having died in January 1732. his fortune was found to be equal to £10.300 Sterling arising chiefly from personal property. The governors immediately proceeded in the execution of their important trust and commenced the erection of the Hospital according to a plan designed by Mr. James Gibb Architect and was completed in the year 1739, at the expense of £3,300, but owing to that sum having entrenched boys until 1750. By that time however. the funds had been augmented to about £14,000 sterling by the accumulation of interest. The number of boys then admitted were only 30. but that number has been gradually increased from time to time according to the state of the funds. And at present no fewer than 150 boys are maintained & educated in the Hospital. The age of admission is from nine to twelve, and generally remain in the hospital. till they have attained the age of Sixteen Sometimes they are sent out earlier according to the progress they have made in their Education, And apprenticed

when a proper opportunity offers. By a bye law of the governors April 3rd 1755 the apprentice fee, is fixed at £100 Scottish money. and the Sum of £5 Sterling is allowed at the expiry of the indenture provided the apprentice has conducted himself so as to deserve it. In 1772 the governors obtained a Charter from the Crown, incorporating them into a body politic, under the name and title of the President & governors of "Robert Gordon's Hospital in Aberdeen" By that Charter they are Capable, in law, of acquiring and enjoying lands, tenements, and hereditaments, of every denomination, and to sue, and be sued, under that name and
title, in any Court or Courts whatever. The funds of the institution have been well and economially managed, and considerably improved by the purchases of landed property, which by rising in value, has become very productive & profitable. In the year 1816, a magnificant grant was made to the institution by the late Alexander Simpson Esqr. of Colliehill, who demised, in trust, to the Principal & Professor of Marischal College & University, and the four Ministers of Aberdeen, his lands and estates of Barrack, in the Parish of New Deer, and Crichie, in Old Deer, in the County of Aberdeen, the rent of which was upwards of £700 Sterling for the benefit of this instution, so that the present annual revenue is about £4,000 sterling By an old arrangement with the Principal & Professors. of Marischal College, the President & governors,
are entitled to recommed anually. four boys who shall be allowed to attend the Mathematical and Natural Philosophy Classes, and accordingly four are anually recommended. Within those few years, the efficiency of the hospital has increased for training & educating Youth. In 1834 two Considerable wings were added to the building which were designed by the late John Smith Esq. City Architect

"The town of Aberdeen was origina [originally] comprehended in one parish distinguished by the name of St Nicholas. The church was dedicated to that Saint, (St Nicholas was Bishop of Myra a city in Lycia, a province [in] Asia Minor, he lived about the beginning of the fourth Century.) who was also patron of the barony. This was the earliest ecclesiastical establishment of the place and the on [only] one in it at the epoch of the Reformation. The period of its foundation being very remote, cannot be ascertained, but the Church was of considerable antiquity and seemed to have been in a flourishing state in the |

"in the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth Centuries, which circumstance is confirmed by various records. It seems, however to have been gradually declining, in its splendour and importance towards the dawn of the Reformation. ---
The vicar of Aberdeen was parson of the parish and titular of its tithes, both parsonage and vicarage.--- The vicar was the next dignitary of this Church. John de Kyngome, the first ecclesiastic who filled that office, was instituted to the vicarage, about the year 1342, by Bishop Alexander of Kynynmounde, the first of that name who succeeded to the episcopal see of Aberdeen in the year 1329. (At this period there was no Metropolitan church, or any building which merited the name of a Cathedral, belonging to the diocese. Bishop Alexander of Kynynmounde, who occasionally resided at Mortlach, Bain and Fetterneir, had fixed his principal residence at Kirktown of Seaton, in the parish of Saint Machar, about a mile distant from Aberdeen, where there was a small church, dedecated to Saint Macarius, and where he erected a lodging, afterwards dignified with the name of the bishop's palace. One of his successors of the same name, commenced the erection of a cathedral only about the year 1357, on the site of the old church, which was demolished. Hence this place, having become the seat of the bishop, was distinguished as the City of Aberdeen, and, in subsequent ages, was known by the name of Old Aberdeen.) The vicar of St Nicholas was generally the sixth prebendary of the Cathedral but it appears, from the cartulary of the church, that on some occasions, a prebendary of another Cathedral had been preferred to that dignity, for we find, in the year 1519, that John Dingwall, prothonotary and archdeacon" |

(P. 11.) "In the course of the year 1514, it appears that the pestilence was raging in the town, and carrying off daily great numbers of the inhabitants. In order to avert this afflicting calamity, it was judged prudent to Court the favour and protection of the holy church. As an expiation for the transgressions of the people, --
In the year 1544 the Magistrates and council nominated John Leslie, afterwards bishop of Ross, one of the prebendaries of the church.
In the time of papal superstition, it was Customary for persons of any consideration in the town to found Chantries with altars, in the Church, near the burial places of their families, and which they frequently endowed with tenements and perpetual annuities, for the support of Chantry priests. ---- It would appear from the number of these institutions, which (P. 13.) were founded by many eminent persons, and dedicated to particular Saints, and from some of the chaplains being distinguished by their literary acquirements, and the public situations which they afterwards filled, that the church of St Nicholas, previous to the Reformation, was in high estimation. These Chantries we shall enumerate, with their several founders. -----
No 1. Chantry of Saint John, the Evangelist --- Richard Cementarius one of the baillies of Aberdeen, founded this Chantry in February 1277, for the celebration of masses for the souls of himself, his wife, his parents, his benefactors,and all the faithful departed." |

It is not unreasonable to suppose, that, in the age of popery, many of these masses, which we have had occasion to enumerate, were, on the interments and anniversaries of deceased persons, celebrated with sacred music, and with all the accompaniments and decorations allowed on such solemn occasions. The altars
appropriated to these religious ceremonies appear to have been ornamented and decorated with portraits of Saints, and other subjects from sacred history. ----- |

[Continued] In the course of our researches, we have not been enabled to ascertain, with sufficient accuracy, the period when the ancient structure of St Nicholas church was originally erected, we must therefore allow that to remain in undisturbed oblivion. -- At the epocha of the Reformation, it was regarded as one of the handsomest parish churches in Scotland. It was built in the Gothic style, and the dimensions of its nave, the roof of which was supported by eight columns on each side, were one hundred and
Seventeen feet of length, by Sixtysix feet of breadth, including the side aisles. There were six galleries in it, three on each side, the fronts of which, and of many of the pews in the body of the church, were constructed of black oak, having various emblematical figures neatly cut in relievo. The serviceable parts of these were fortunately preserved, previous to the fabric falling to ruins, and appropriated to seats in the East church where they still remain. -----
The church which had three doors and thirtythree windows, was, in the time of popery, divided from the quire by a wooden screen, there being open arches under the steeple for a communication betwixt the two places of worship, but those were subsequently to the Reformation, built up with stone so as to form two separate churches. -- About the beginning of the eighteenth century, it became ruinous and unserviceable, and was abandoned as a place of worship about the year 1732. The lead was afterwards stripped from the roof, and, in the year 1742, the columns of the nave having given way the whole fabric fell to pieces, in consequence of natural decay, and, its fall, destroyed many of the |

The Quire which is now distinguished by the name of the East Church is a neat Gothic building, entirely divested of ornamental or carved work. It is eighty-six feet of length to the breach of the chancel, and sixtyfour feet of breadth, including the side aisles. The roof of the nave is supported by four arches on each side, which spring from Gothic columns without any ornaments. ----- |

In the year 1477, the magistrates and town council, on the solicitation of Thomas Spens, bishop of Aberdeen, commenced the erection of this fabric on the east end of the Church. To defray the charge of the undertaking, the council and community agreed to appropriate the customary fees of the alderman, baillies, dean of guild, and of the abbot and prior of Bon-Accord, with the whole annual revenue of the borough, for seven years, and longer, if found necessary. ---- The stones used in the structure were imported, by sea, from Caussie, in Moray, at a considerable charge, the lime for the Mortar was brought from Dysart, and the lead for covering the roof from England. ----- |

"The chancel which is eighteen feet by twelve, was in the east end of the quire, and under it was a neat chapel, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, but, in modern times, converted to secular purposes. In this Chapel a chantry was founded, in the year 1520 for celebrating yearly, at the altar, a mass of requiem for the souls of David Menzies, of Gilbert Menzies, and of Marjory
Chalmers, his spouse, and of their parents and relations, for which the former had presented to the curate and chaplains of the church, in the same year, a donation of £20 in money to
enable them to rebuild and repair their houses in the town" --(Kennedy's Annals P. 43)
St Mary's is a Crypt chapel situated under the East end of the East Church, it is in a very good state of preservation and a neat Gothic building. The reading desk and seats are all of black polished oak, and the pillars and walls appear to be in the same style as found at the Reformation. The Chapel is fitted up as a place of worship, but is seldom used for any thing, except vestre meetings. ----- |

"The old church of Saint Nicholas, remained in ruins till the year 1751, when the magistrates entered into a contract with James Wylie, mason, Archibald Chessels, and James Heriot, wrights, of Edinburgh, for erecting a new Church on the site of the old one, confurmably to a plan which had been presented gratuitously, to the Magistrates, some years previously, by Mr James Gibb, an eminent architect in London - and a native of Aberdeen. -- The undertaking was Completed in the autumn of the year 1755, and on Sunday, November 9th, the church was opened for divine Worship, Mr James Ogilvie, one of the ministers of the town, having preached the first sermon in it. The structure is one hundred feet six inches, of length, and sixty-six feet of breadth, including the side aisles. The basement of the building is of dressed granite, all the other parts, both exterior and interior, being of freestone, which was imported from Queensferry. The nave of the Church is twenty-five feet broad, and the side Aisles including the thickness of the pilasters, about eighteen. The piers of the arches are four feet, six inches by three feet. There are three galleries on each side and one in each end. |

it has been fitted up for the occasional meetings of the synod and presbytery. The north aisle was known by the name of Collison's, as being the burial place of an ancient and eminent family of that name, in the town. The extent of these structures, from south to north, is about one hundred feet. -----
Above the great arches there rises a square tower, about twelve feet high,which forms the basement of the steeple. From each corner of it springs a small square wooden spire, covered with lead, and, in the centre, the great steeple is constructed, of an octagonal, form of oak, and covered with lead. It ends in a point and is surmounted by a gilt bull, with a weather cock on the top, which is about 140 feet from the ground below. At what period
the steeple was erected we have not been informed, but it certainly existed previous to the Reformation. ---
In the tower there are placed the three ancient bells belonging to the church, called Saint Laurence.
Saint Nicholas, and Maria, with two additional ones, have been lately furnished, by order of the Council. There is also an excellent public clock which chimes the quarters, with a large dial plate on each side of the tower pointing out the hours and minutes. -----
The whole of these structures which we have enumerated, although erected at different periods, and in various orders of plain architecture, combine, in one mass a building, which is by no means inelegant, or deficient of symmetry. ----- |

(St. Nicholas Ch. Contd.) "Saint Nicolas is the tutelar of the church here. This saint was born at Patara, in Lycia, and
became afterwards Bishop of Myra in that country. Among his many works of charity this is particularly recorded, that hearing of one who was to prostitute his three daughters, merely that they might earn their bread, he sent as much gold as might be a dowry to each of them. He sate in the council of Nice, and vehemently opposed Arius, and dyed the next year, December Sixth A.D. CCC.XXVI. [326] His body was transported from Myra to Bari, in the Kingdom of Naples May ninth A.D. M.LXXV111. [1076.] ---
This church has at present, eight silver chalices, four greater (quhare of two gill.) and four lesser, also two silver pattens, gilt, two silver basins, for baptisms, four silver cups and four silver porringers for receiving alms, and two large silver hafted knives for carving the holy bread." ----- (Collections on the Shires of Aberdeen & Banff P. 233.4)

2. The East Church stands where the quire of St Nicholas formerly was. It was erected in 1834, -- the quire, which had been till then used, having become so ruinous, that it was judged necessary to pull it down. This was a collegiate charge until the division of the town into six parishes took place".

Grammar Schools were origionally instituted in Monasteries, for the instruction of youth in the principals of the learned languages in vogue at the time, particularly of those who were destined either for the Church, or for any of the Monastic orders. Those institutions were afterwards under the Superintendence and direction of the Bishop of the diocese, And his Chancellor instituted the master of the School, according to the rule observed in Ecclesiastical benefices, The earliest accounts which can be obtained of the institution of the Grammar School of Aberdeen occur in the year 1418. In ancient times, the Grammar school consisted of detached buildings on the site of this structure, but very inconvenient and very uncomfortable, both to the masters and their pupils. In the year 1757 this building was renovated at an expense of about £400 Sterling, on part of the grounds which had anciently belonged to the Dominican Friars. It forms three Sides of a Square, having a belfry in the centre of the main building, and contains the public hall where the boys assemble. and four teaching rooms. all upon one floor, The area in front is inclosed by a low wall, with an iron rail on the top of it. Among the earliest benefactors to this Seminary, is to be mentioned Dr. [Doctor] James Cargil, who, about the year 1616, demised the Sum of five hundred merks to the Town Council, the interes of which was to be applied for the School fees of boys, whose Parents were unable to pay them, and for purchasing books for Such boys, while at their Education. In the year 1625 one of the Citizens, whose name is not mentioned, made a donation to the Council of five hundred merks, the interes of which was directed to be paid to one of the teachers. Dr. [Doctor] Patrick Dun, principal of Marischal College, |

[Dr. [Doctor] Patrick Dun]
was the greatest benefactor to this institution, having in the year 1634 presented to the magistrates a deed of mortmain, which had been executed by him 3rd August 1631, of his lands of Ferryhill, in the Vicinity of Aberdeen, for the benefit of the four masters of the School, and for poor scholars, properly recommended to be taught gratuitously etc. By that deed, he granted and Conveyed to the Provost, Baillies, Council, and community, and their Successors, those lands and pertinents which were ancint [anciently] held of the prior and convent of the Trinity Friars of Aberdeen. Besides these Endowments, there have been various other donations made by benevolent individuals, for the support of boys during their Education at the School; particularly, the sum of one thousand merks, by George Robertson, writer, in the Year 1645 two hundred pounds. by Dr. [Doctor] Alexander Ross, Minister, in the year 1656; and the Sum of two hundred pounds Sterling, by George Cruickshank, in the Year 1747. All these funds are under the management of the Tow [Town] Council. The boys are generally five years at this School. This Seminary has acquired great Celebri [Celebrity] as being the nursery of Dr. [Doctor] Campbell, Sir James McGregor, Dr [Doctor] Abercrombie, Lord Byron etc etc - -- Within the last few years a new and beautiful Grammar School. has been erected in Skene Street W [West] near the Den Burn, so that this building is no longer used for that purpose, At present one part of it is used as a Parochial Poor's office and the other part as a store or warehouse -- |

"This appears to have been an ancient Structure, and was situated in the West end of the Street, about sixty yards eastward of the present Tannery Street. Previous to the year 1585 a gallery had been erected over it having apartments which communicated with the adjoining house, on the north side. In that year, Patrick Davidson, the proprietor of the tenement, obtained permission from the Magistrates and Council to repair the gallery. In the Year 1793 it was purchased by the treasurer in consequence of an act of Council, at £140 sterling of price, and the whole structure was soon afterwards demolished. About the Year 1768 when the number of wheel carriages had considerably increased the gates were found to be extremely inconvenient and a great obstruction to loaded Carriages. An act of Council was, therefore, passed ordaining all the Ports to be taken down in consequence of which they were, in the course of a few years afterwards removed as being altogether unnecessary and indeed useless fabrics" ---

Her Majesty is represented as a Scottish Queen. On Her head is a Royal diadem, in her right hand is the extended sceptre; and her left hand is disengaged, and so posed by her side as carelessly to control the folds of the plaid, which is fastened on the shoulder by a brooch in the form of a Scottish thistle. Around the border of the plaid, the rose, the thistle, and the shamrock are represented, the whole of the drapery being disposed very gracefully. The statue itself is instinct with life; the attitude is very striking; while the likeness is remarkably good. The pedestal is of red polished Peterhead granite - from the works of Messrs Macdonald Field & Co. [Company] On the front is an Imperial Crown, with the following inscription in gold letters underneath
Victoria D.G. [Dei Gratia] Brittaniarum Regina 1866

This order of friars was first established at Aberdeen by King Alexander II in 1222 who bestowed upon them his Palace and garden situated on the North Side of the Schoolhill, for a Monastery and a Church, which was dedicated to St. John the Baptist. In ancient times it was the place of Sepulture of the family of the Earl Marischal, and continued to be so till the institution was suppressed at the Reformation. - By the great influence which these friars possessed among all ranks, they very soon acquired Considerable possessions in the town and in the Country. in Kintore, and the Parish of Banchory Devenick and Dunotter, And also annuities, which were given to them as donations, by benevolent individials, for pious purposes, and arose from various properties in the Town. King Alexander III. also allotted them an annuity from the fee farm of this borough. This grant was afterwards Confirmed to them by King David II. Robert III and James III. date of Charter September 30th 1477. The Convent appears to have stood about midway between the Schoolhill and Gordon's Hospital, and embracing all the ground lying between the Schoolhill. Woolmanhill Blackfriars street St Andrews street and Harriet street. but in January 4th 1560 it was so industriously demolished that no portion remains to be seen. Attached to the Monastery was a kiln, the roofless walls of which were in existance in 1661 In 1833 certain excavations brought to light the ruins of one of the buildings about Sixty feet in length and fronting the South. Among the Stones were discovered a fragment of Sandstone bearing in Saxon characters the word "Nostras" a thin brass plate, a Silver heart about an inch and a half in length an inch in breadth. and half an inch in thickness. it was hollow. and a small ring attached Showed that it had been worn suspended from the neck. |

Supposed site of Monastery Dominican or Balckfriars Continued
About forty feet from the Street, on the west margin of the walk was discovered an ancient grave, about 6 feet in length and four in breadth. It was rudely built of large unhewn stones, cemented with lime, and Contained the remains of three bodies, one of them, from the appearance of the scull, evidently that of a young person -- Friar John Adams, who seems to have been prior of this Convent from 1503 to 1508. was a learned man and the first graduate of theology in Kings College, eventually became the Principal of the Preaching Friars in Scotland, daring every hazard in support of religion and increasing the number of learn [learned] pious, and active preachers of that order. -- After the Reformation, the whole property which belonged to the Black and White friars, reverted to the Crown. In the Year 1587 George Earl Marischal having acquired right by purchase to the Monastery and Crofts of those friars, obtained from King James VI a Charter Confirming that right, and which be bestowed on his new College in the year 1593 - Some years previously to this. the Earl had disposed of the Manse, barns and ya [yards] of those friars to David Anderson of Finzeach, in whose family Sir John Wright the last prior of the order, was maintained for Several Years. This at length Robert Gordon acquired by purchase and on 13 December 1729 he executed a deed of Mortmain by which he Conveyed his whole property. as a fund for the building and maintenance of his (Gordon's) Hospital - |

"Richard Waus of Mewy, burgess of Aberdeen, by a charter, dated 1st May 1469, granted to the friars Minors of the observance of Saint Francis the who [whole] lands and property belonging to him, situated on the east side of the Gallowgate (now Broad Street) for their Monastery, provided they obtained the Consent of the Bishop and the King to the ailenation. By James III's letter under the privy seal, dated at Edinburgh, the 9th of the same Month he ratified and confirmed the donation, and on the 26th, Thomas Spens, bishop of Aberdeen, gave his Consent by a similar writing; but it became necessary to have the concurrence of the pope, which was afterwards obtained, to the erection of the Monastery and Church. The property was accordingly afterwards resigned by the donor to Mr. Alexander Waus Canon of the Cathedral of Aberdeen, in name and on behalf of those friars, and by him assigned to a venerable father John de Nucia guardian of the Convent of Limburg, of the province of Cologne; and the reverend father Francis Blonde, vicar of the father general of the said friars in the North of Scotland. On the 12th July 1471, Friar David Crannock Vicar over all the friars Minors, Commonly Called de observantia, in the kingdom of Scotland, was feoffed in the property by the provost and baillies. This must therefore be regarded as the original foundation of that Monastery at Aberdeen. These Mendicant friars do not appear to have acquired any other property, or revenues, the Monastery, church and garden were all that belonged to them when they were suppressed, at the Reformation; and the whole with the exception of the Church, are now Occupied by Marischal College."

This place of worship, which is situated in the east side of the Broadgate, (now Broad Street) belonged in Ancient times to the monastery of the Franciscan or Grey Friars established at Aberdeen. The Church is said to have been originally erected for the friars, by Bishop Gavin Dunbar about the beginning of the sixteenth Century, and was dedicated to the Virgin Mary. After the Reformation, the Magistrates and town Council by a Charter from King James VI dated December 30th 1567. acquired right to the property of those friars, for the purpose of establishing a public hospital for the reception and support of indigent persons who were lame and disabled of orphans and Young Children. This intended institution however never having taken place, the property with the reservation of the Church, was in the Year 1576, sold, by the Council to three of the Citizens for the Consideration of an annual feu duty. In the Year 1592 it was again purchased by the Magistrates from the proprietors at the time for the sum of eighteen hundred Merks of price and presented by them to George Earl Marischal, for the site of the College which he had in view to establish. Although the Church had been reserved by the magistrate as a place of worship to the town, it remained in a state of neglect for several years. In the year 1617 it was ordered to be repaired under the Authority of an act of Council and to be fitted up with pews for the exercise of prayer and other acts of devotion. Afterwards a gallery was erected in it for the accommodation of the magistrates, on whom the right of patronage was Conferred by the Charter to the Burgh for Charles I in the Year 1638 -- There remains very little of the Ancient structure besides the side walls and a fine Gothic window at the south end. About the Year 1768 the Church underwent a thorough repair, and was reduced in length nearly 20 feet which was taken from the north end an aisle and gallery was Constructed on the east side -- Kennedy's Annals Vol II.
This Church is now one of the six City Churches and is seated to accommodate about 1000 persons the Revd. [Reverend] Joseph Henderson is the present Minister. |

"Among other religious foundations established in the town, in the age of popery, was the chapel dedicated to Saint Katharine.
It was founded on the hill of that Name, near the west end of the Castlegate, by the Constable of Aberdeen, in the thirteenth Century. According to ancient report, it belonged to the Nunnery
of the Grey Sisters, of the order of Saint Katharine of Sienna,
who was their patroness. In the Year 1541, when Sir John Cumming was Chaplain, an attempt was made, by the Magistrates, to shut up the passages leading to it from the Shiprow, and from the Green, but the priest appears to have prevented that exertion of authority from taking effect. Sir John Reid was the last Chaplain who celebrated divine Service in the Chapel in the age of popery. The Nunnery had been suppressed at a very remote period; and the Chapel which does not appear to have had any endowments, remained entire for many years posterior to the reformation.
In the beginning of the present Century, the greatest part of the hill on which it formerly stood was removed for the purpose of opening the Communication betwixt the Castlegate and Union Street, the west end of which now occupies a considerable portion of the site of the hill."

This is the site of the original College which was founded in the Year 1593. Kennedy the Annals of Aberdeen writes "About that time (1592) George Earl Marischal of Scotland, grandson of William Earl Marischal, who was one of the Most Zealous promoters of the Reformation, having returned from his travels on the Continent, was appointed Lord Lieutenant of the North, and gr [greatly] aided in subduing the Popish insurgents in that quarter. Having formed a Plan for establishing a College in Aberdeen, and Communicated his intention to the Magistrates, they purchased at the expense of eighteen Merks the buildings and garden which had formerly belonged to the Franciscan Friars on the east side of Broadga [Broadgate] and presented the property to his Lordship for the site of the Intended College. The Charter of foundation was executed by him upon the 2nd of April 1593, obtained the sanction of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland which met at Dundee four days afterwards, and was satisfied and Confirmed by the King in Parliament upon the 21st of July of the same Year. In the subsequent Year, the deed of foundation, after having passed through the necessary forms in such Cases was presented by the Noble founder to the Magistrates and Council, who immediately thereupon delivered it, in a solemn manner to Mr. Robert Howie, one of the Ministers of the town, who was nominated Principal of the new College
that he might enter upon the duties of his important Charge." |

"An elegant hegagonal structure of Grecian architecture about 18 feet high to the top of the balustrade, In the Centre of it there rises an elegant Column about 12 feet 6 inches high ornamented with a wreath of thistles around it having a Corinthian Capital surmounted by a Unicorn bearing on its breast a shield with a Lion rampant, the extreme breadth of each side of the fabric from angle to angle is 10 feet and on each side of the six angles is placed a Column the Centre of which is on the extremity of the side. The diameter of the building from the outside of on [one] Column to that of the other on the opposite side is 21 feet. The Columns are of the Ionic order 9 feet high and their Capitals executed in the ancient style, on each side of these Columns are pilasters formed by a small recess in the wall 7½ inches broad and 5 feet high including their impost mouldings over these are arches being segments of Circles with architrave mouldings. The entablature above is formed of 12 sides, each of the angles of which rests on the top of the Column, the other on the middle of the side below, and their weighty projections are supported by trusses. The architrave frieze and Cornice are 2 feet high, and the frieze is richly ornamented with foliage, but not swelled as is common in the Ionic order In the frieze over each of the Columns is the head of an animal, projecting, for the purpose of carrying off the rain water from the top of the building. Over the Cornice is placed a balustrade or close panelling divided into 12 Compartments, each having a handsome moulding, in the one fronting the west, are placed the arms of the town of Aberdeen finely Cut in stone and in the 5 following, on the south are disposed in their order, quarter length effigies of James I. II. III. IV. and V. Kings of Scotland, in the Compartments fronting the east, the royal arms of Scotland are placed, and in the 5 remaining ones are also disposed in order, quarter lengths of Queen Mary. James VI. Charles I. II. and James VII. the four last being Kings of Great Britain, all these effigies are cut [in] high releive, in stone and each has an oval wreath as a frame. The Countenances of the latter Sovereigns are said to bear a strong resemblance to the best pictures of them which are still [--], and a family likeness may be traced through the whole. It was erected by John Montgomery Mason of Old Rain in the Year 1686 in place of the ancient Cross."

Was an ancient religious institution founded within the ramparts of the Castle-hill. The only permanent endowment which it possessed at the Reformation was a tenement in the Shiprow, which had been granted to the chaplain by Robert Blindsele, for services of devotion. In the year 1566, the chapel was repaired, and the east end of it converted into a light-house, for the direction of shipping, during the winter season, and on the top of it was placed the flag staff of the town. There were three great lights kept in it, during the night, from the first day of September to the last day of March. ----- In the year 1642, when the consistorial or commissary court was translated from the consistory in the cathedral, to Aberdeen, the chapel was filled up for the accommodation of that judicatory, which continued to sit there till after the Restoration. The chapel was afterwards

When this practice was discontinued, it was used for a magazine, and various other secular purposes. The fabric, which was of the coarsest workmanship, rema [remained] entire until the year 1794, when the magistrates and council were induced to present gratuitously, to government the whole area of ground within the ramparts, along with the chapel, for the purpo [purposes] of a barrack establishment, which was then in view. This appears, fr [from] the act of the town Council, to have been done, under an impression t [that] the intended barracks would not only be advantageous to the town, but t [tend] to relieve the inhabitants from quartering soldiers, which had long been complained of as a grievous burden upon them.

A small portion of a building in Bothwell Court said to have belonged to the Red Friars Templars, but no Authentic information Can be got on the subject. Mr. Gordon, Minister of Rothiemay writing, about the Year 1660, says "Upon the north syde of the Castelgate (towards the east end thereof) there is to be seen, amongst the gardings, a certane obscure and scarcelie now decernible ruine or fundatione of a small building overgrowne with brier and thorns; which sumtyme belongit to the friers or reed friers Templars. No further accompt can be given thereof, for at this tyme the very ruins are almost ruinated." This description is as applicable now as it was two Centuries ago. |

P.O [Post Office] Directory 1860-1861
Annual Report for 1860
The Aberdeen Reformatory & Industrial Schools 1859 |
075 |
The origin of this School was the result of a division in the management of the original Female School in 1846. when the feeling consequent on the Disruption was stronger than it is now, and its establishment was a well merited tribute to Sheriff Watson, for his labours in the organisation of Industrial Schools, by those members of the free Church, who were subscribers to the original School. and outvoted in its management. It is Consequently superintended by a Committee of Ladies belonging to the Free Church, who are most zealous in promoting the interests of the
Children under their charge. The building is rather a superior one and is situated in an open airy locality Yet within a convenient distance of one of the poorest. and for a long time, most neglected districts. This school was opened in April 1847. with 53 children, and, in the course of the year, 112 had been admitted the average attendance at present is about 65. The children present a gratifying appearance for cleanliness, health, and cheerfulness, The Matron Knows the nature of her charge better than repress the spontaneous ebullition of young spirits, and by so doing, foster dissimulation and falsehood. The first lesson is candour and truth, in word and deed. Besides the usual course of education they are taught Sewing Knitting and household Work and trained to industry. Children may be admitted to the school and the other benefits without becoming inmates. The Institution is liberally supported by subscriptions, donations etc from the surrounding
Nobility and gentry. The management is vested in a body of Directors, a Treasurer. Secretary, Surgeon. Matron and Assistant Teacher are appointed by the Directors |

"This establishment of Monks, or Red Friars, denominated the Minister and friars of the order of the House of the Holy Trinity, was instituted, and Confirmed by Pope Innocent the III in the Year 1200. and originally introduced into Scotland, in the reign of King William the Lion, for instructing the people and for religious purposes. ----- King William the Lion in the latter end of his reign established a branch of the order at Aberdeen, whither he sent, in the Year 1211. two friars, who had been recommended to him by Pope Innocent; and granted and Confirmed to them his Palace and garden, on the south Side of the town, for their Convent, ----- They had also within the precincts of the Convent, their Church, which remained entire until the end of the eighteenth Century when it was demolished, for the erection of a Presbyterian Chapel, under the established Church, At the Reformation when the Order was suppessed, the whole of their Possessions reverted to the Crown. In the beginning of the 17th Century, the buildings and Church having become the Property of Dr. [Doctor] William Guild one of the Ministers of the town, he bestowed them upon the incorporated Artificers, by a deed of Mortmain, for the purpose of establishing an hospital, for their decayed brethren."

For many years an inveterate animosity, characteristic of the times, had subsisted between the family of Gordon and that of Lord Forbes. Both families were equally actuated by the spirit of revenge, and an eagerness to prosecute their deadly quarrels, Adam Gordon, who was now in the interest of the queen, had been recently engaged in a skirmish with the Forbeses at Tulliangus; after which he availed himself of an opportunity to attack the Castle of Towie, in the parish of Leochell, a baronial mansion which belonged to Forbes of Brux, one of this family; but, having met with resistance, he set fire to the Castle, and the lady of the manor, her children, and servants, to the number of twenty-seven persons, perished in the flames. So barbarous an act could not fail to exasperate the Forbeses, and prompt them to seek for revenge. John, Master of Forbes, did not long hesitate to proceed in quest of Adam Gordon, whom he found, with his confederates, at Aberdeen. They |

[Continued]
They met at Crabestone, on the south west side of the town, to decide their quarrel in the field, and fought with the utmost furry; but the Forbeses were defeated, and put to the route, the Master of Forbes being taken prisoner, In this conflict sixty were slain on both sides; and some of the Citizens seem to have been actively concerned in it, probably on the part of Adam Gordon. It would appear that the affair was afterwards represented to the Earl of Morton, when regent of the kingdom, in unfavourable terms for the Citizens. They were summoned in a penal action before the lords of the privy council, for this and other offences, on which Patrick Menzies, one of the baillies, was delagated by the Magistrates to repair to Edinburgh, with the utmost expedition, to explain the circumstances to the regent. In this mission he appears to have succeeded, for, not long after, the action was quashed, and Morton was pleased to grant to the Magistrates and community, a remission of all past Crimes and offences, in the usual form. This distinguished stone still remains in the front wall of a house, on the south side of the old road, leading to the town from the south, about 1200 yards from the Cross. It also marks the site of the field of battle gained by Montrose over the Covenanters, 13th September, 1644.

This is sometimes called Fish Town of Futtie, Fishers Square, and Footdee Square the latter appears to be the correct name. These houses were erected by the Corporation in the beginning of the present century, and are arranged in the form of two large quadrangles and are inhabited exclusively by fishermen and their families, The houses are neat and commodious and might be very comfortable. only they are kept in such filthy & dirty condition, so that the inhabitants are seldom free of some kind of disease. The place is divided for distinction into the North and South Squares. and again Subdivided into Pilot's Square. and Middle Row
It has of late become customary to spell the name of this village Footdee, as if it were derived from the circumstance of its lying adjacent to the embouchure or foot of the Dee; but the uniform Spelling in old writings is Futtie, or sometimes, though seldom, Fottie; and it may be observed that etymological propriety would require that if the name had reference to the foot of the Dee, it should have been either "Dee-foot" (as "Elvan-foot," "Bog-foot," etc.) or "Foot-o-dee" (as Foot-o-hill. -- etc. --- (New.

A fort seems to have been constructed here in 1497. but having become ruinous or proving insufficient, the erection of another was commenced in 1532. but not Completed till ten years thereafter. It was of a circular shape, with embrasures for artillery, and a Small tower in the centre. vaulted and flatted above, In the beginning of the last century it was enlarged and partly rebuilt, being furnished with ten 12 pounders, It was dismantled shortly after the building of the New Pier, and the guns were transferred to a battery raised on a slight eminence in the vicinity, so as to command the mouth of the river and the adjacent coast. It is now in a very delapidated Condition, but the walls are partly standing.
Near this part of the harbor is situated the ancient blockhouse, now dismantled of its artillery, and converted to a storehouse of one of the Greenland companies, and the battery which was built some years ago, for a protection to the harbor from the enemy during war. This fort was afterwards dismantled of its guns, in consequence of an order from government and is now allowed to fall to decay. Vide Kennedy's Annals |

In 1607 the erection of the pier on the South Side of the Channel, opposite to the Sandness was begun. It was constructed of stones without cement, and of large stakes of timber, and the work was, in a great measure performed by the inhabitants, who, in person discharged no small part of the labour, The were cheered in their task by the bagpipe and drum. It seems to have been completed in 1610. and to have increased the security of the port. Towards the end of the century it was repaired, and a timber head constructed upon its Eastern extremity This was renewed about 1707 by part of the wreck of the Levant galley of Amsterdam, lost at the Black Dog. and was not taken down before 1810 - when this present strong and permanent stone pier was constructed. |

A large river rising near the summit of Ben Macdhu and flowing in an easterly direction till it falls into the Sea at Aberdeen. Some miles below Kincardine O'Neil the Dee enters and flows through Kincardineshire for about 12 miles retouching the County of Aberdeen at the South-West corner of the Parish of Drumoak from which until it falls into the German Ocean it forms the boundary of those two Counties
The River has a total Course of about 96 Miles and is famous for the purity of its waters and the perennial flow of its head springs. it is also famous for its Salmon fisheries. Dee in the ancient British language signifies the black river or dark water. The City of Aberdeen takes its name from the river Aber being Mouth of a river in the same language. |

This extensive nursery was purchased by Mr. Roy in 1829. And has every variety of soil and aspect, from a considerable altitude, with fine dry subsoil, to low levels containing acres of excellent peat. On acquiring the Nursery Mr. Roy had it efficiently drained Supplying Devanha Distillery with water. and conveying off the surplus Water into the River Dee --- Previous to this the lower portion of the nursery was waste bog. From the various undulations, as well as the winding of some of the walks, and the many fine trees, all planted by Mr Roy, it is highly picturesque and it is Known all over the United Kingdom from the many hands it has sent into the Horticultural world. Of late the adjoining lands, also possessed by Mr. Roy, is being rapidly fued for Villas, and in this way the Nursery bids fair soon to become part of Aberdeen |
