This leaflet accompanies the Aberdeen City Centre Women's Heritage Walk which was developed by a group of nine volunteers. It was felt that there were a number of women in Aberdeen who had made an important and significant contribution to the life of Aberdeen city. By going on the walk, the group aims to share the many stories about these women and the achievements with the men and women who live, work and visit out great city.
