  • 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.

  • River Basin Management Planning River Deveron Catchment Summary
    River Basin Management Planning River Deveron catchment summary 1 Introduction The River Deveron catchment (shown on Map 1) includes the major tributaries of the River Bogie, River Isla and Turriff Water. The Deveron rises in west Aberdeenshire and then flows through Huntly and Turriff before joining the North Sea at Banff. Map 1: River Deveron catchment The catchment includes areas of moorland, farmland and forestry, and also has a number of distilleries including Chivas Regal, Glendronach and Knock. The Deveron and its tributaries are important salmon, sea trout and brown trout fisheries. Further information on the River Deveron catchment can be found on SEPA’s interactive map at www.sepa.org.uk/water/river_basin_planning.aspx 2 Classification summary of the catchment SEPA monitors the water environment on an ongoing basis and uses the resulting data to produce annual classifications. The summarised results for 2008 show that the catchment contains: 8 water bodies at good ecological status. 18 water bodies at moderate ecological status, 5 water bodies at poor ecological status and 5 water bodies at bad ecological status. Table 1 gives further details of these water bodies. There are no Heavily Modified Water Bodies in the catchment. The catchment is underlain by a number of groundwater bodies. The majority of these are classified as being at good status for both water quality and quantity, but the eastern catchment around Turriff has issues relating to over abstraction and diffuse pollution. These are discussed further in Table 1. The Deveron catchment joins the sea at the Banff and Macduff coastal water body which is classified as being at good ecological status.

  • Strathbogie, Buchan & Northern Aberdeenshire: Huntly
    8 Strathbogie, Buchan & Northern Aberdeenshire: Huntly, Auchenhamperis, Turriff, Mintlaw, Peterhead We have grouped the northern outreaches of Aberdeenshire together for the purposes of this project. The areas are quite distinct from each other © Clan Davidson Association 2008 Strathbogie is the old name for Huntly and the surrounding area. This area is quite different from the high plateau farmlands between Turriff and the north coast, and different again from the flat lowland coastal plain of Buchan between Mintlaw and Peterhead. West of Huntly, the landscape quickly changes into a moorland and highland environment. The whole area is sparsely populated. The Davidson history of this area is considerable but not yet well documented by the Clan Davidson, and we hope to complete far more research over the coming years. The Davidsons of Auchenhamperis appear in the early historical references for the North East of Scotland. Our Clan Davidson genealogical records have several references linking Davidsons to this part of Aberdeenshire. Auchenenhamperis is located north east of Huntly and south west of Turriff. Few of the buildings present today appear to have any great ancestry and it is hard to imagine what this area looked like three to four centuries ago. Today, this is open farm country on much improved land, but is sparsely populated. The landscape in earlier times would have been similar, but with far more scrub and unimproved land on the exposed hills, and with more people working the land. Landscape at Auchenhamperis Davidston House is a private house, located just to the south of Keith, which was originally built in 1678 for the Gordon family.
