Infestation Of Rats Seen at Centuries-Old Aberdeen Graveyard
                     Infestation Of Rats Seen at Centuries-Old Aberdeen Graveyard
You can never predict where a pest infestation will occur. There have been reports of outbreaks 
taking place all over Scotland, and now a renowned historical site in Aberdeen has been beset 
by an invasion, which is a source of great concern.
Located on Union Street in the town centre, the beautiful St Nicholas Church and graveyard, 
referred to as the Mither Kirk, has been standing since the 1300s. It has become a popular 
tourist spot. Visitors and residents alike can take a stroll in the grounds, visit the archaeological 
dig site or walk around the fascinating memorials and tombstones, some of which have been 
there for centuries. You may even see the ghost of the lady with dark hair all dressed in white 
who is supposed to haunt the graveyard. Anything is possible.
However, the St Nicholas Cemetery has recently had some unwelcome visitors which, for many, 
can be even more frightening. The gravesite has been inundated with rodents, which have been 
running around and building their nests on the grounds. The local council had taken steps in the 
past to rectify by using poison, but the rats have returned tenfold.
A local observed rats emerging from underneath a bin by the Union Street gate.
 There were almost two dozen, which he believed may have been attracted by discarded food 
waste, and the various fast food establishments in the area.
There have been images of huge rodents seen at various parts of the gravesite, while vermin 
have been seen burrowing holes under tombstones and crawling inside. This has understandably 
caused criticism in some quarters and calls for the kirk to be better maintained.
Especially considering its location, in the centre of Aberdeen, and the fact it has added 
comfortable new benches to be more visitor friendly. However, the sight of rats running around 
may put people off from coming, particularly as they have not gone unnoticed.
The local council has acknowledged there was a problem and its pest control team were working 
on it. They were proceeding with their enquiries, maintaining they will continue treating the site 
until the situation has reached a satisfactory conclusion.
