    Reference code: GB228 AC9/8/1 Title Papers relating to Robertson's Map of Aberdeenshire, Banffshire and Kincardineshire Dates 1790 - 1836 1874 1938 Level of description Fonds Extent and medium 2 boxes Name of creator The Map Committee of the Commissioners of Supply and Gentlemen of Aberdeen County Administrative history Interest in the mapping of Aberdeen and Banff counties may have commenced around 1790, with a proposal by James Stobie for publishing a map of Aberdeenshire and Banffshire by subscription. In 1801, at a meeting of the Edinburgh Aberdeenshire Club, Sir William Forbes expressed a need for a survey and map of Aberdeen and Banff to assist in the development of improvements such as roads and bridges in the counties. This idea was given unanimous support and a committee was set up to bring the proposal under the consideration of the county gentlemen (AC9/8/1/5). On 11 October 1806 printed proposals for publishing a map by subscription from a survey by John Ainslie were sent to potential subscribers (AC9/8/1/14). This attempt appears to have been unsuccessful and on 10 August 1809 James Robertson, land surveyor, wrote to Sir William Forbes informing him that he would soon be completing the fieldwork for his survey and map of Northumberland and would be available to survey and map Aberdeenshire and Banffshire, as requested by Sir William Forbes three years earlier on seeing Robertson's topographical survey and map of Jamaica (AC9/8/1/15). Sir William Forbes duly informed the Commissioners of Supply of Aberdeenshire who decided to investigate this proposal further as Alexander Sutherland, land surveyor, whom they had employed to undertake the task had left the country (AC9/8/1/16).

  • THE PINNING STONES Culture and Community in Aberdeenshire
    THE PINNING STONES Culture and community in Aberdeenshire When traditional rubble stone masonry walls were originally constructed it was common practice to use a variety of small stones, called pinnings, to make the larger stones secure in the wall. This gave rubble walls distinctively varied appearances across the country depend- ing upon what local practices and materials were used.

  • Stuartfield and Crichie: an Historical Relationship - Which She Originally Presented During a Conference in the U.S.A
    The Friends of the Book of Deer arranged their 32nd Seminar for the afternoon of Saturday the 24th September at 2 30pm in the Kemp Hall, Old Deer. Laura Dorantt ,a researcher currently working in Mintlaw library delivered her paper - Stuartfield and Crichie: an Historical Relationship - which she originally presented during a Conference in the U.S.A. The Conference was “ Dimensions of Political Ecology “ and the talk featured in the Rural –Urban Interfaces Session and was well received. “Between 1725 and 1850, some 450 planned villages were founded throughout Scotland of which 100 or so were built in the northeast. The planned village of Stuartfield is in the Buchan district of Aberdeenshire and is surrounded by the Crichie estate, which in the 21 st century continues as a working farm estate. The lands of Crichie and Dens have been owned and managed by the Burnett Stuart family since around 1700.
