| Description | Brief history of the freedom lands of Aberdeen, from the time of Robert I, including the decision to obtain a charter from Mary Queen of Scots. This serves as background for document's main purpose, which is to set out the situation concerning Bogfairly, Dykeside, Cloghill & Borrowstown, from its ownership a hundred years previously by George Davidson, to its recent scale by roup to John Dingwall, John Menzies, Alex Aberdeen and James Kynoch. The purchases are now in dispute with Council over the issues of the properties being subject to charters which the council insists are necessary. Brimondhill is also mentioned. |
