One is said to be that of James Ogston (a previous owner), his wife, and his mistress.<br /> <br /> It is believed that James originally purchased Norwood in 1872 and rebuilt it in 1881 for his mistress so they could meet whilst he lived in Ardoe House across the river with his young family.<br /> <br /> After years of torment, his wife and mistress wanted James to leave the other but James refused. It is said that Norwood is now haunted by the two lovers and his vengeful wife who longs for revenge for the torrid years she had to endure.<br /> <br /> The apparition of James has been seen standing in front of the log fire in the dining room. The ghost of his mistress has been reported to haunt the main stairs (perhaps looking for her lover). His wife is the most active of the three with reports of her being seen in the hall, the kitchen, and also the dining room.<br /> <br /> Brief History<br /> <br /> In 1861 Mrs Helen Morrison, wife of Baillie William Adamson (a London stockbroker) bought the property of Norwood. My Adamson liked the name of Norwood and game it to the house that he built on the land his wife had bought. Mr Adamson died shortly after the house was built in 1886.<br /> <br /> Mrs Morrison then sold the property to John Taylor of Regent’s Park just two years later. It was then later resold again in 1872 to a Colonel James (Soapy) Ogston, who partly rebuilt the house in 1881 before moving his family across the River Dee to Ardoe House and moving his mistress into Norwood.<br /> <br /> On the grounds of Norwood is were the Pitfodels Castle once stood. The foundations are likely still there but no remains of the house have been seen for the last last fifty years.<br /> <br /> [Info: Hauntedrooms.co.uk]</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/calumlinnen/">Calum Linnen</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/calumlinnen/54399999917/" title="TF-SIF"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54399999917_35dc346f43_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="TF-SIF" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/calumlinnen/">Calum Linnen</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/calumlinnen/54401120638/" title="TF-SIF"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54401120638_86a9e1bda5_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="TF-SIF" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/calumlinnen/">Calum Linnen</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/calumlinnen/54400000432/" title="TF-SIF"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54400000432_e673a20d5e_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="TF-SIF" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/calumlinnen/">Calum Linnen</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/calumlinnen/54401060619/" title="TF-SIF"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54401060619_e41bcd5630_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="TF-SIF" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/davids_leicas/">TheCameraMuseum.</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/davids_leicas/54401063185/" title="Aberdeen Arts Centre"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54401063185_cb3a5606b2_m.jpg" width="160" height="240" alt="Aberdeen Arts Centre" /></a></p> <p>John Smith, 1829-30. Landmark Greek Revival symmetrical, rectangular-plan former church on prominent corner site with dominant advanced giant Ionic tetrastyle portico surmounted by square-plan clock tower with circular top stage, based on Lysicrates Monument. Grey granite; ashlar to N and E. Base course. Deep overhanging parapet with balustrade to porch. Predominantly large round-arched windows with rectangular windows below with blind recessed aprons to ground. Giant Doric pilasters divide bays to E.<br /> <br /> This landmark former church forms the focal point of King Street and is situated on a prominent corner site. It is an outstanding example of Greek Revival architecture and is a notable work by the celebrated architect John Smith. The building is especially distinguished by its grand entrance portico and distinctive tower. The use of the Lysicrates Monument as the top stage of the tower is particularly unusual and striking.<br /> <br /> The Arts Centre was built as the North Parish Church in the Parish of St Nicholas. The site was in the heart of the parish and was considered to have the necessary commanding position. The church was converted to an Arts Centre in 1963.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/102472425@N06/">Ian Robin Jackson</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/102472425@N06/54399336517/" title="Blackbird"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54399336517_54ff6d405a_m.jpg" width="214" height="240" alt="Blackbird" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/p300njb/">Rab .</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/p300njb/54399293822/" title="F82 HMS SOMERSET Berthed Aberdeen South Harbour 20/03/2025"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54399293822_cc1ef191e2_m.jpg" width="240" height="110" alt="F82 HMS SOMERSET Berthed Aberdeen South Harbour 20/03/2025" /></a></p> <p>HMS Somerset is a Type 23 frigate of the Royal Navy.
