These containers are, of course, clean, dry and secure, and customers are charged per container per week.

read moreThe Shore Porters Society began as a group of porters, or 'Pynours' who worked at Aberdeen Harbour and formed, for their mutual protection, what must be one of the oldest co-operatives in existence. In 1666 the Superannuated Members Fund, or Property and Warehousing Department, was founded as one of two distinct trading units to provide for retired and sick partners. The other unit was known as the General Haulage Department, the Horse and Van Department, or simply the Working Department. For centuries the Society was a semi-public body under the control of Aberdeen Town Council, but by 1850 - the year before the Great Exhibition - it was completely independent.
