Lodge Walk
50 Lodge Walk which ran from Castle Street to Queen Street dates back to 1754 when the Aberdeen Lodge moved into Chambers at the New Inn. The jail for Aberdeen was at one time the Tolbooth, the spire of which can be seen at the centre of the photograph. Culter
876 This image was taken around 1909 from a hill at the west end of Culter - 7 miles west from Aberdeen looking down on the North Deeside Road towards Banchory. The image shows the cottages known as Clayhills with the houses of Malcolm Road beyond. Hidden in the trees at the right hand side is the statue of Rob Roy overlooking the Leuchar Burn which runs through the wooded valley. Fishwife
2260 A fishwife, most likely from Torry, with a creel on her back, a basket and shopping bag in her hands.
The history of Torry is inseparable from fishing. Like Torry itself the fishing industry and its related activities saw great change over time.
Going to sea to fish was challenging and dangerous, but those left on shore did not have an easy life either. The Torry fishwife in this picture likely had to walk many miles into the centre of Aberdeen and back again every day carrying very heavy loads. Other time would be spent mending nets or curing fish.
The 20th century saw increased industrialisation of fishing. Act of the Town Council, for regulating and determining the Run and Property of the Gavels and Garden Walls through the different Streets and Lanes of the Town (3 of 3)
519 This is the back page of a four-page broadside style pamphlet. The other pages can be seen here and here.
The pamphlet, dating from May 1764, details at some length the council's adjudication on the run and ownership of various gavels and walls within the town. This document explains that their judgement is informed by a walk around town in which they inspected the boundaries.
The pamphlet details gavels and garden walls in Footdee Quarter, Green Quarter, Crooked Quarter and Even Quarter. |
