Excerpt from Antiquarian Gleanings From Aberdeenshire Records The following selections are taken from a variety of sources, but chiefly from the publications of the Spalding Club, Kennedy's Annals of Aberdeen, the Aberdeen Journal down to the commencement of the present century, and Robertson's Book of Bon-Accord. A considerable number of them have, for the last three years, appeared in the Aberdeen Herald under the heading of "Antiquarian Notes," which, with numerous additions, are presented to the public in their present form. The Compiler hopes that the Collection will prove useful as a book of reference, as the reader will find in it a narrative of the most striking events which have happened in the Town and County of Aberdeen for the last three hundred years, as well as the manners and customs of our forefathers described in their own quaint but graphic language. An Engraving of Irvine's View of Castle Street is given for a Frontispiece, as having been the scene of so many of the events described in the volume. The older citizens will recognise the portraits of several well-known characters, whose appearance must have been familiar to them in their youthful days.
