Mid Stocket

Mid Stocket

Midstocket is an area of Aberdeen, Scotland. It is named after the Forest of Stocket, which was a gift from Robert the Bruce to the people of Aberdeen in 1319. The income from the forests land formed Aberdeen's Common Good Fund.

Today Midstocket Road cuts through the area and the people of the city generally see it as the focal point of the Midstocket Area. The streets between Midstocket Road and Westburn Road from Mile-End School are considered to be in the Midstocket Area. Between Rosemount and Mile-End School would generally be considered the Mile-End area despite Midstocket Road passing through it.

There is a church, Midstocket Parish Church on Midstocket Road.
