Location Catterline is 5 miles south of Stonehaven on the coast and is characterised by its Georgian pier, built in 1810, and breathtaking views, along with a pretty curved bay and shingle beach. Fishing boats operated out of here for over a thousand years and it is said that many of the fishermen supplemented their income by smuggling. Nowadays it is more famous for the artists who visit and live here, inspired by the beauty and intriguing history of their surroundings. In recent years Catterline has also become well known for its Gala and Cartie Challenge which is held in June each year. The local Creel Inn is renowned for its excellent food, and there is a highly regarded primary school and a strong sense of community spirit in the village.

Stonehaven is located 16 miles south of Aberdeen. The town developed as a fishing port and as the county town of Kincardineshire it featured (as did the surrounding area) in the 2016 film adaptation of Lewis Grassic Gibbon’s classic Sunset Song.

The town has been a traditional tourist destination for many years. It has become increasingly popular with overseas visitors who come to see the iconic Scottish fortress, . The town benefits from a delightful harbour area with fine traditional pubs and restaurants and hosts its world famous Hogmanay fire ball procession and music event on New Year’s Eve in the town centre. It is excellently situated for transport. The train station is served by frequent services to Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow, the East Coast Line to London and Cross Country to Birmingham and the West Country. The station benefits from the advantage of free car parking. Buses regularly run from the town to Aberdeen, Dundee and Perth. The town is adjacent to the A90 allowing easy access to Aberdeen and the north; Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow to the south.

Stonehaven itself has nursery, primary and secondary education. Lathallan offers nursery, junior and senior schooling. Other private schools in Aberdeen are well connected by the public transport services above.

Stonehaven will be at the southern end of the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route that is scheduled to be completed in 2018. This will allow rapid access to Aberdeen Airport and business areas to the west and north of Aberdeen. Aberdeen Airport offers direct flights to hubs in London, Paris, Amsterdam and Frankfurt. The airport is also a hub for the main transport routes for personnel working on the offshore oil and gas installations.

History The teacher’s house was built in 1850 and the school itself was a further addition in 1901; at some later stage both the buildings were merged as one to create the schoolhouse as it is today. Although not listed, the property is located within a Conservation Area.
