For further information contact Lynsey Keenan on 01224 337710.

Saturday 1st May
Aberdeen and the Plague at The Tolbooth Museum
An exciting new re-enactment looking at Aberdeen and the plague in the 1640s. Laws were rigidly enforced and people branded and executed for harbouring plague victims. Meet the Baillie and Gaoler as they decide the fate of David Jack, who hid his baby from the authorities when it was sick with the plague. Admission Free.

Special Museum opening hours
11am-5pm. Event at 12noon, 1pm, 2pm 3pm and 4pm.
