Scope and Content View from south-east showing west apartment on first floor of No 23½ Virginia Street, Aberdeen Originally a small settlement at the mouth of the Denburn, Aberdeen was created a royal burgh by David I between 1124 and 1153. With 19th-century agricultural improvements, the city's population doubled as workers flocked there for alternative employment. This room is on the first floor of No 23½ Virginia Street. Dating from the mid-18th century, the interior was almost as original prior to demolition in the mid-1970s. This room had vines and flowers painted on the walls to create bordered panels. The house was an impressive granite-built, two-storeyed plus attic town house, with a pilastered and pedimented entrance doorway reached by a short flight of steps. To the rear was a semicircular stair-tower. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
