What is recorded here
Aberdeen, 19-20 Castle Street, the Clachan is recorded as a public house, though no date has been attached to the claim. The name suggests a small settlement clustered around a central building, perhaps a tavern where travellers drank and dealt in rumours before Castle Street took its present shape. Whether the Clachan was a trading post, a refuge or a drinking room for fishermen, it belongs to the human layer beneath the city, the kind of place that sounds ordinary until you imagine the noise inside.
