Walking Tour for CoastGIS 2005

Participants in the Walking Tour of Aberdeen with Chris Croly should meet in the AECC concourse at 14.30 on Friday 22nd July 2005 for transportation by minibus to the meeting point at the Tolbooth on Castle Street in the centre of Aberdeen.

The Tolbooth is on Castle Street last door of the townhouse, so if people get dropped off at the bus stop at the town house and make their way up to the Tolbooth and Chris Croly will be waiting and will start with a quick tour of the Tolbooth before moving onto the other locations and ending up at the Maritime Museum.

The Tolbooth is one of the oldest buildings in Aberdeen and one of the best preserved 17th century Scottish gaols. Built between 1616 and 1629 the Wardhouse, now known as the Tolbooth, was a gaol for those awaiting either trial in the adjacent court or punishment.
