Title

4 Old Castlegate

Description

Number 4 Old Castlegate is part of a three-storey, category B Listed mid-18th century townhouse. It was abandoned by its former owners in 1988 and rapidly fell into disrepair, suffering massive de-stabilisation and structural damage. Eventually Aberdeenshire Council took possession of the building via a Compulsory Purchase Order and took measures to stabilise it.
