Danny, welcome.
There is only a single entry for the surname "Profeit" in the current Aberdeen telephone directory so I am a little doubtful about the strength of the Aberdeen connection! However, you might like to know that a Dr Alexander Profeit (1834-1897) was a farmer's son from Nethertowie, Strathdon, Aberdeenshire who came to be personal physician to Queen Victoria and was also her estate manager at Balmoral. A strathspey tune was written in his honour

and a little obituary is here
