    THE MARQUIS OF HUNTLY, “COBBIE” AND “THE KING OF FORGUE” 1800s ames Allardes had inherited Boynsmill Estate in 1800, but by 1802 was living at J Cobairdy, where, although only the tenant of John Morison of Auchintoul, he lived very much the lifestyle of a laird and acquired the sobriquet of “Cobbie” as a result. One of his neighbouring landowners was the Duke of Gordon, and both men knew each other and had mutual dealings, especially when it came to improving the estate boundaries between lands at Kinnoir and Cobairdy. Aberdeen Journal 24 February 1802 The Duke’s son and heir, George, Marquis of Huntly at this time lived at Huntly Lodge, and oversaw the running of his father’s estates in the Huntly area, and became closely acquainted with James Allardes and also with Alexander Shand, in Conland. The outcome of these friendships was that these two prominent men of Forgue society were regular guests of the Marquis at his lavish parties.

The settlement is centred on the cross roads of the B992 and the Leslie/Oyne road. The settlement is surrounded by open countryside, with important views of Bennachie to the east. Auchleven’s location away from main service centres, along with significant capacity constraints at Premnay Primary School, mean that the scope for significant expansion of the settlement is limited. However, there may be opportunities for development of a small-scale ‘organic’ nature through the plan’s rural development policy. The primary planning objective during the lifetime of the plan is to preserve the amenity of the village. Settlement Features Protected Land P1 To provide landscaping for the recent development at Hermit Seat and to protect open space. P2 To conserve the playing field as an important local amenity. Services and Infrastructure • Primary education: All residential development must contribute towards an extension at Premnay Primary School • Secondary education: All residential development must contribute towards an extension or reconfiguration at the Gordon Schools. • Community facilities: All residential development may be required to contribute towards facilities that serve the community in Auchleven or towards facilities in the wider catchment area at Insch.
