I was born on December 27 1949 in Cuparstone Nursing Home, 34 Great Western Road, Aberdeen. It had been previously known as Cuparstone House. I was the last baby to be born there.
Cuparstone Nursing Home was founded in 1934, It was owned and run by Miss Mary Stewart. It closed in 1951. Here’s a link from the Scottish Archive Network.
The property had originally been owned by Archibald’s, a furniture company. So, was I born in a furniture shop window?
On my last visit to Scotland, in 2002, we went to Aberdeen and photographed it.
