Aberdeen Women's Alliance: Guestrow
2346 An image of the Guestrow street sign and plaque. The latter reads "A name unique to Aberdeen, but its origin is obscure. Some suggest that 'Ghaistraw' means street of spirits or ghosts. In the 17th century Guestrow had a number of lodging houses, the Episcopalian meeting house and Provost Skene's fine stone dwelling which still stands today. Much of Guestrow, including Quaker Court, was demolished in the city's slum clearance schemes." |
