  • 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.

In the long term planning is probably the most important issue that we have had to deal with, and, after several delays caused by legal arguments over the notifications of the Planning Enquiry, we were finally able to present our case to the Reporter. The main issue to which we took exception was the proposed development of Site A, off Bogbeth Road. Here it was suggested that about 60 houses should be built, but as only 40 houses were supposed to be built in all the rural service centres in Garioch the grounds on which the Council’s argument were based were flimsy, and did not stand up to scrutiny.
