  • Aberdeen History Trail the City Through Its Historical Times
    Aberdeen History Trail The city through its historical times #aberdeentrails #aberdeentrails Aberdeen is bursting full of history! From its ancient origins to medieval burghs and King Robert The Bruce, from the Jacobite connections to the expansion in the Edwardian and Victorian times, the ‘Silver City by the Golden Sands’ has a long, important, and interesting history with many of its people contributing to the wider world. The city started out as three separate royal burghs – Old Aberdeen, New Aberdeen and Torry plus the parish of Woodside – which expanded and merged together to form the city as a whole. There was a major expansion in the Georgian, Edwardian and Victorian eras as the city made its first fortunes based on fishing, granite quarrying and shipbuilding and many of the grand buildings were built during these times. It also included the main thoroughfare, Union Street, which was raised up away from the mud and dirt and built on a series of bridges – it was such a major project it almost bankrupted the city! Enjoy exploring our beautiful city and finding out about its history!

Key to symbols Accessible from street indicated Accessible via ramp or steep slope STEEP Not wheelchair accessible Show off your photos on Instagram @aberdeen_cc #beautifulABDN Erran Granite Works, Aberdeen, circa 1890 Aberdeen is the Granite City. Look around. Granite buildings are everywhere, ranging from the grandest of monuments to the humblest of tenements. The North East of Scotland’s geological base is granite. Colours range from light white-grey to blue, pinks and reds. Granite has long been incorporated into local buildings and structures. Its hardness means it is difficult to quarry and work, so in the past, stone was often gathered as suitable boulders or very simply dressed. The Tower of Drum (c1300) and the more elaborate Crathes Castle (1500s), illustrate the early use of granite in fortifications. The expansion of commerce and industry in the 18th century increased demand for granite. Greater traffic with iron shod cartwheels increased the need for more durable road surfaces. Granite was ideal for this and Aberdeen began to export the stone, particularly to London. Civil engineering Above: Settmaker in his scathie, circa 1930s projects, such as harbour works and bridges further increased demand, Front cover: Rubislaw Quarry in its heyday, while merchants and manufacturers looked to granite to give them more watercolour by Watson Charleton imposing buildings and decorative features.
