The Ghost Of Ardoe House Hotel

The Hotel has a white lady ghost who is thought to be Katherine Ogston, the wife of Alexander Milne Ogston who was a soap merchant, who purchased the mansion house in 1839. There is a portrait of Katherine on the main stairs and this is where her ghost has been seen.

Others have reported that the ghost is a daughter of a former owner who was raped and became pregnant. She later killed herself and her child.

Christmas Meals

On Christmas day 2007 Ardoe House Hotel manager, Mr Chris Lynch, delivered sixty five gourmet meals to the Aberdeen homeless charity The Cyrenians on Summer Street. The staff wanted to support The Cyrenians after they had their summer ball in September at Ardoe House Hotel. At the time they also generously donated an auction prize of a hotel stay to include a visit to the spa. The Christmas meals allowed The Cyrenians to serve the homeless people a hot meal when usually their Christmas meal would have been a cold buffet. It also means that The Cyrenians can serve the buffet on boxing day increasing the Christmas meals to the homeless of Aberdeen City.
