🪡🧵 To become a member of the Aberdeen Tailors Incorporation, it's not enough to simply have a passion for fashion - you must prove your craft.

When First Master Josie Steed, became the first female member of the Tailors Incorporation, she was required to complete an essay piece demonstrating the skills expected of a professional tailor.

Her chosen piece? A beautifully tailored skirt.

Every detail mattered - from accurate measurements to traditional hand-stitching techniques - before it was examined by the Trade and approved as being of an exceptionally high standard.

The skirt wasn't just a garment. It was a modern interpretation of a centuries-old tradition, proving that craftsmanship, precision and creativity remain at the heart of the Tailors Incorporation today.

📍 At Trinity Hall, these traditions continue to celebrate excellence while welcoming the next generation of skilled craftspeople.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Business Tea last night. 🪖👏

We were delighted to welcome members, guests, Aberdeen Burgesses and representatives from the The Nine Incorporated Trades of Dundee for an enjoyable evening of networking, conversation and community spirit.

A highlight of the event was an inspiring talk from Lt Col (Ret'd) John Donovan MBE DL, Regional Director for Scotland and Northern Ireland at the Army Benevolent Fund (ABF). John shared insights from his distinguished military career, which included service with The Royal Scots and The Royal Regiment of Scotland, as well as operational tours in Northern Ireland, the First Gulf War, Bosnia and Iraq.

John also spoke passionately about the work of the Army Benevolent Fund, the Army's national charity, which provides lifelong support to serving soldiers, veterans and their families facing hardship, illness, injury, bereavement and other challenges.

We are extremely grateful to John for sharing his experiences and insights, and to everyone who attended and helped make the event such a success. 👏

💈✂️Barber Surgeon’s Chair: A Cut Above History

Tucked within the treasures of Trinity Hall stands this remarkable relic of Aberdeen's medical and craft heritage.

Long before modern medicine separated the professions, the town's barbers were also surgeons. With steady hands and sharp blades, they not only trimmed hair and shaved beards but also performed minor surgical procedures - from tooth extraction and boil removal to bloodletting and wound care.

This intricately carved chair, proudly bears the old French-Latin term for Surgery - "CHIRVRGIE". Although the Barber-Surgeon Guild were not one of our seven trades, they were formally recognised as part of the Aberdeen Incorporated Trades (Old Aberdeen) by the late medieval period and certainly active by the 1500's.

The Barber-Surgeons of the London Livery Companies date to at least 1308 and are still active today. Now named the Worshipful Company of Barbers, they have a Barber- Surgeon Hall in London 👉 https://www.barber-surgeonshall.com/

Did you know that Barbers used to perform minor surgeries? 💉
