SynopsisIn Lost Aberdeen: The Outskirts, Diane Morgan embarks on a fascinating and highly readable journey into the environmental and architectural heritage of those familiar parts of Aberdeen that began life on the fringes of the city. Illustrated with period photographs and maps, it is a goldmine of information about this historic city., In Lost Aberdeen: The Outskirts, Diane Morgan embarks on a fascinating and highly readable journey into the environmental and architectural heritage of those familiar parts of Aberdeen that began life on the fringes of the city.Covering Gilcomston (originally a 'wretched and rather remote suburb') Berryden (famous for its pleasure garden and the Northern Co-op), Kittybrewster (the marts and the railway), Torry (trawling) and Ferryhill (leafy and elegant), and illustrated with period photographs and maps, Lost Aberdeen: The Outskirts is a goldmine of information about one of Scotland's most historic cities., "Lost Aberdeen: The Outskirts" is the companion volume to the highly successful "Lost Aberdeen" which recorded the demise of many fine buildings of the city center. "In Lost Aberdeen: The Outskirts," the lands which encircle the city, spreading seamlessly round its heart like a great fan, are explored and the losses chalked up and discussed. The journey begins at Gilcomston, the city's first suburb, once a little village of cottages and weavers' sheds, with a hidden industrial enclave and a remarkably elegant west end. Alas, Gilcomston is so lost that it is hard to find today, in spite of its proximity to the city center. The road now heads north to Berryden where the demise of the Northern Co-operative Society's imposing complex of meal and barley mills and dairies is regretted. The journey continues, with Morgan guiding the reader from faded landmarks to vanished villages through a poignant and evocative trail of the past.
