Most Aberdonians know that "Bon Accord" is our civic motto. When asked what it means, they either say "Happy to meet, sorry to part, and happy to meet again," (that's another story in itself) or "French for good agreement"!

Historians have dismissed this as fantasy - join Dr Fiona-Jane Brown to find out what truths and half-truths there are behind this famous phrase.
