Scope and Content Aberdeen Town and County Bank (now Clydesdale Bank), Bridge Street, Wick, Highland Wick, a royal burgh since 1589, remained a small town until after 1801 when Thomas Telford planned the harbour and new town on behalf of the British Fisheries Society. By the middle of the 19th century, Wick was Europe's largest herring port. Aberdeen Town and County Bank was built in 1875 by Russell and Mackenzie in early Renaissance style. Historical figures are carved in its window-arches. Historical styles like those based on early Renaissance architecture became popular in the 19th century, partly because they reflected national, rather than Classical, architectural traditions.
