  • From Couper to Farmers' Cooperative
    From couper to farmers’ cooperative: livestock fairs and markets in north-east Scotland from 1800 to 1900* livestock fairs and markets in north-east scotland by Richard Perren Abstract In 1800 local livestock fairs and markets in north-east Scotland were traditional open markets held at fixed times of the year. Their number increased in the first half of the nineteenth century as the region’s meat industry developed to supply the growing demand of the Scottish and English markets. After 1850 and the appearance of the railways the number of livestock markets grew further and localities competed with each other, sometimes fiercely, to capture the benefits of a new livestock market. These markets, where deals were made privately between individuals, were dominated by local butchers and livestock dealers. This changed from 1870 as open markets gave way to regular livestock auction markets (or marts) conducted by professional auctioneers. Farmers believed that auctions served their interests better than open markets as sales were conducted quickly and in greater comfort, and they could also judge whether buyers were competing fairly. Farmers from the north east became so enthusiastic about this form of sale that they took advantage of the nineteenth-century Company Acts to float their own joint stock limited auction companies, and also take over some of the existing family-run livestock auction markets. In spite of some opposition from butchers and cattle dealers, the auction markets were all very successful and by 1900 had largely replaced the traditional fairs and markets. Scotland in 1500 was a poor country with a small population and a backward, underdeveloped economy.

  • Regenerating Aberdeen: a Vision for a Thriving and Vibrant City Centre
    Regenerating Aberdeen: a vision for a thriving and vibrant city centre 1 2 FOREWORD For centuries major cities have been enhanced by their universities. These institutions have attracted skilled people, scholarship, arts and culture, as well as enterprise and innovation. In this way the partnership between cities and universities has in countless places helped to create prosperity and employment, and secured a better quality of life. Aberdeen has for a long time been associated with its institutions of learning. Robert Gordon University, though relatively young, has made a major impact on the city, and in turn has benefited from the association with its location. But this relationship also involves responsibilities, and it is my view that in RGU we must do all we can to ensure that Aberdeen’s future is as bright as its past. Although Aberdeen has significant advantages, many of them derived from the successful industries that it hosts, it also faces serious challenges. There is a perception that its infrastructure and amenities need some attention, and that it needs to look at how it can secure a new sense of purpose that is visible in its buildings, streets and spaces. To help in this process, I decided to establish an expert group drawn from the resources of the university, so that we could offer some well judged analysis and make some suggestions for the future. This group, convened by Dr David McClean, has now produced this report, offering well argued insight and vision. I am most grateful to the entire group for their work. My desire to have this work undertaken was in part prompted by the process surrounding the City Garden project, which I strongly supported and which was assisted by some key RGU staff.
