Description
Our final stop is back at the Town House, Broad Street, Aberdeen, where in 1930 Isabella Burgess was <a href="http://www.silvercityvault.org.uk/index.php?a=ViewItem&key=RXsiRCI6IlNlbGVjdGlvbnMiLCJOIjoxOH0&pg=18&WINID=1459162027008#6KAyYyxowTIAAAFTvJDCTQ/96286" target="_blank">the first woman to be elected onto Aberdeen City Council</a>. Miss Burgess was an Independent and represented the Gilcomston Ward until 1933, when she retired owing to ill health. She had spent her working life in the teaching profession and was the first Secretary of the Educational Institute of Scotland for the Aberdeen branch. After nearly 800 years Aberdeen got its first woman Lord Provost when <a href="http://www.silvercityvault.org.uk/index.php?a=ViewItem&key=RXsiRCI6IlNlbGVjdGlvbnMiLCJOIjoxN30&pg=16&WINID=1459162027008#6KAyYyxowTIAAAFTvJDCTQ/96285" target="_blank">Margaret Farquhar CBE</a> was elected in 1996 after having served as a councillor in the Northfield ward for 25 years. The first woman ever to become the leader of Aberdeen City Council was Margaret Smith who was elected in 1996 and served until 1999 when she then went on to become Lord Provost until 2002.
