Lunchtime Talk: Aberdeen Female Orphan Asylum: The Daughters of Mary Emslie
In 1841 Mary Elmslie, an affluent childless widow, opened the doors of the newly constructed 19 Albyn Place, officially known as: the Aberdeen Female Orphan Asylum. The institution offered another life far from the often squalid and insanitary Workhouses; providing shelter and education to destitute girls born within St Nicholas and its surrounding parishes between the ages of 4 and 8 years old. Join Dr Ashleigh Black to find out more about the lives of the girls fostered within this fascinating institution.
