About MeHoneybrae, South Stocket Road, Aberdeen. Ten year old Lord Byron stayed here for a summer in 1798, while he was a pupil at Aberdeen Grammar School. At that time, it was probably a fairly new house, standing in its own grounds in a rural situation. He stayed there with his mother and their maid Isabella Mitchell, before going to visit his old nurse, Agnes Gray. His room was on the first floor.
