Fri 28th November 2025 | 12.30 for 1.00pm| The Royal Northern and University Club, 9 Albyn Terrace, Aberdeen

This year, our lunch will be held at Aberdeen’s famous but rather secret private club, a beloved gathering place of the great and the good, city and country gentlefolk, professionals and business people in the area, including several AHSS members!

‘The Club’ dates from the 19th century and was given Royal status when Queen Victoria visited it in its previous location on a tour of Aberdeen in 1863. In the 1970s the Club moved to its present address, a grand classical villa designed by Archibald Simpson as part of the city’s westward expansion on the Rubislaw estate. Its iconic columned porch was a slightly later edition featuring Cruden Bay stone to blend with the building’s refined Georgian style.

Our speaker this year is Mr David Oswald, Local Heritage Librarian, whose subject is An Illustrated Tour of Historic Cinemas of Aberdeen.

Come and join us for a fizz reception and two-course lunch. Wine may be purchased as required. Please tell us of any dietary requirements.
