Summary
| Description |
English: The Powis gate Old Aberdeen The Powis gates were erected in 1834 by Hugh Fraser Leslie of Powis the lively owner of a straggling estate lying to the West of Old Aberdeen. The minaret towers of the structure may suggest a Turkish influence. Above the arch is the coat of arms of the Fraser Leslie family. Another shield at the back carries busts of three black slaves, commemorating the familys link with the grant of freedom to the slaves on their Jamaica plantations. The entrance now leads to the Crombie and Johnston Halls of Residence of The University of Aberdeen. |
