No. 81, High Street, Old Aberdeen, dates from about 1780 and was the town house of the family of McLean of Coll – an island estate in the Inner Hebrides on the western seaboard.Their links with Old Aberdeen probably originated from the habit, common among Highland landowners, of sending their sons to King’s College. The house later belonged to the Rev. Samuel Trail who worked as a divinity professor from 1867 to 1887. It remained in Trail family possession until the 1970s. The walled garden attached has bricks made at Seaton Brickworks close to the east side of Old Aberdeen.
