Emblem: purple: roundel, central shield with white band across, oars similar and typically purple beyond the neck if in oldest (standard, square) or macon (less old) style; name of club on roundel and 1865 beneath in clear white text.
The club was founded in 1865 when four boats were purchased. Several boathouses have existed throughout the club's history, the first was at the Ferryhill Burn Nr Bank Street. In 1876 a second boathouse was built in Polmuir and this was later followed a £60 purchase of the university boathouse in 1924. The boathouse was sold back to the university in 1953 when the club experienced a difficult period. A new boathouse was constructed in 1982 which gained an extension in 1994 with two additional boat bays.[3]
The club shares its boats and landing stage with Aberdeen Schools Rowing Association, whose dedicated boats have prefix ASR.[2]
It also has sharing arrangements with Aberdeen University Boat Club and one school has its own boats, as its full fleet in large part, forming Albyn School Boat Club.[2]
