075 | 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. |
