Description

Aberdeen's rich history spans 8,000 years, from the earliest Hunter-Gatherers who settled on the River Dee to the present day. The city has been shaped by numerous invasions and conflicts, including the Bronze Age stone circles, the fierce resistance of Celtic, Roman, and Viking invaders, and the brutal Battle of Mons Graupius. Throughout its centuries, Aberdeen has borne witness to countless battles, plagues, clan feuds, and other violent events that have left an indelible mark on the city. From the English garrison's defeat at Aberdeen Castle to the devastating impact of the Nazis, no era has been immune to bloodshed and conflict. This book explores the complex and often bloody history of Aberdeen, revealing a city with a dark and troubled past.
