A PLAQUE has been installed on the grounds of the University of Aberdeen to recognise the institution’s legacy of slavery.
The plaque is located by the Powis Gateway in Old Aberdeen, which was funded by the Leslie family after they received compensation when slavery was abolished in Britain’s Caribbean colonies in 1834.
The Lesley family received more than £7000 (worth in excess of £600,000 today) for the loss of their “property”.
