Aberdeen Before 1800
This volume, the earlier of the two-volume official History of Aberdeen, provides a comprehensive picture of the development of the two historic burghs of Old Aberdeen and New Aberdeen over their first seven centuries, from 1100 to 1800. As early as the 14th century, Aberdeen was: recognized as one of the 'four great towns of Scotland'. Early settlement, the growing townscape and social change over the centuries are all traced. Aberdeen's contacts with the sea and other towns overseas and its economy and politics, both local and national, are assessed. And Aberdonians themselves, the vital forces behind the history of the two burghs, are highlighted: their faith and culture, homes and health, and their education and pastimes are all rediscovered.
Aberdeen and North-East Scotland
This volume details a range of monuments in and around North-East Scotland. The history of early burghs such as Aberdeen and Elgin can be traced through their fine cathedrals and town houses, while the estate improvements of the 18th and 19th centuries have left important bridges and harbours.
