Site of a gate or port. One of four gates or ports that led to the Cathedral precincts of St. Machar in Old Aberdeen. Its former location was at the present Town House and Cluny's Wynd in Old Aberdeen. It was built sometime in the late 14th or early 15th century and had effigies of the Virgin Mary on it but these were later broken and defaced at the Reformation. It is visible on Gordon Parson's map of 1661. In July 1789, the port was listed as ruinous and dangerous. Walter Leith, proprietor of the port, was charged to give issue as to why the port should not be pulled down or rebuilt. The port was later taken down and was reported as taken down at the close of the 18th century. The other three ports are Chaplain's Port (NJ90NW0255), Chanonry Port (NJ90NW0289) and an unnamed one (NJ90NW0290).
