Title

Society of Advocates in Aberdeen

Description

The Society of Advocates in Aberdeen has been in existence for more than four hundred and fifty years. The Society's present building was sited to take advantage of proximity to the new Peddie and Kinnear Sheriff Court House. Unremarkable from the outside, it is the decoration of the interior that is of interest.
