153 ROUTE INVENTORY >>> @ride_the north rtn.ridethenorth www.ride-the-north.co.uk SPONSORS RTN 153: THE TOWNS, THE VILLAGES & THE ROUTES RTN Routes are categorised by geography. Routes153 which begin in Aberdeen City, in North Aberdeenshire (broadly north of the River Don), in South Aberdeenshire and in Moray Speyside. The entire network is created trying to link towns and villages that are roughly 15 miles apart and ACROSS while the average route will be approximately 15 miles, the routes range from 5 miles to 25 miles. Each route has been allocated a points value that reflects it’s length, total ascent and any particularly tough hills to be climbed. Individual routes vary from 2 points for short (or almost entirely downhill) to 10 points for the most challenging.

  • 1696 Hearth Tax, Aberdeenshire Residents

    1696 Hearth Tax, Aberdeenshire Residents

    1696 Poll Tax List for the North East of Scotland In the latter part of the 17th century, the Scottish economy was in poor shape. Among several unpopular taxes introduced during this period was the Poll Tax that imposed a tax on every person over 16 (14?) years of age and not a beggar. The list of persons in Aberdeenshire is supposedly the only complete county list in existence, and enumerates some 30,000 persons, although less than 100 of these are Brebner/Bremner individuals. I have transcribed the Brebner/Bremner and all variant spellings from the indexes published by the late Archie Strath Maxwell and found in the main public library in Aberdeen. The Aberdeen and NE Scotland Family History Society (ANESFHS) has a series of full transcriptions of many of the Aberdeenshire parishes available for purchase, and I would recommend these to anyone who has traced their ancestors back to this early period. Many of the 1696 parishes had different names and boundaries than their 19th century counterparts, although farm names are often continued through the centuries. In looking through the Brebner/Bremner entries for Aberdeenshire, I found it most interesting that some parishes in which the families were well represented in the 18th and 19th centuries had no entries in 1696. This suggests that the founding members of those families came from other parts of Aberdeenshire, or indeed from other parts of Scotland. Trying to match individuals in this population poll with corresponding births or christenings is hampered by the lack of Old Parish Registers for many of the under-mentioned parishes during that early time.

    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.

    NOT FOR BROADCAST OR PUBLICATION BEFORE 00:01 MONDAY 30 MAY 2016 The annual Bank of Scotland Seaside Town Review tracks house price movements in 59 seaside towns in Scotland. The review is based on house price data from Registers of Scotland for the period 2005 to 2015. HOUSE PRICES IN SCOTLAND’S SEASIDE TOWNS RISE BY £348 PER MONTH IN PAST DECADE The average house price in Scotland's seaside towns has grown by £348 per month since 2005, according to the latest Bank of Scotland Seaside Towns Review. Over the past decade, the average price has grown by 39%, from £108,449 to £150,210 – exceeding the 32% increase for all seaside towns in Britain. Seven of the top ten coastal towns with the biggest price increases are located in Aberdeenshire, which for much of the period has been well served by the growth in the oil and gas sector. Fraserburgh has seen the greatest level of house price growth with a rise of 139% from £63,540 in 2005 to £151,719 in 2015, equivalent to a monthly increase of £735. Macduff also recorded a doubling on average property values (102%) from £66,226 to £133,567, followed by Peterhead (95%), Cove Bay (94%) and Newtonhill (91%). (Table 1) Lerwick in the Shetlands saw the second biggest growth amongst Scottish seaside towns, rising by £81,812 to £159, 325 – an increase of 106%. Other towns outside Aberdeenshire with the largest price increases include Millport (84%) and Campbeltown (69%). A further 22 coastal towns – out of the 59 surveyed – have recorded price increases of at least 50% since 2005.

    Prooeedings.1 WILLET ON FRASERBURGH HARBOUR. 123 (Paper No. 2197.) ‘I The Fishing-Boat Harbours of Fraserburgh, Sandhaven, arid Portsoy, on the North-East Coaxt of Scotland.” By JOHNWILLET, M. Inst. C.E. ALONGthe whole line of coast lying between the Firth of Forth and Cromarty Firth, at least 160 miles in length, little natural protection exists for fishing-boats. The remarkable development, however, of the herring-fishery, during the last thirty years, has induced Harbour Boards and owners of private harbours, at several places along the Aberdeenshire and Banffshire coasts, to improve theshelter and increase the accommodation of their harbours, in the design and execution of which works the Author has been engaged for the last twelve years. FIXASERBURGHHARBOUR. Fraserburgh may be regarded as t,he chief Scottish port of the herring-fishery. In 1854, the boats hailing from Fraserburgh during the fishing season were three hundred and eighty-nine, and in 1885 seven hundred and forty-two, valued with their nets and lines atS’255,OOO ; meanwhile the revenue of the harbour increased from 51,743 in 1854 to 59,281 in 1884. The town and harbour are situated on the west side of Fraserburgh Bay, which faces north- north-east, and is about 2 miles longand 1 mile broad. The harbour is sheltered by land, except between north-west and east- south-east. The winds from north round to east bring the heaviest seas into the harbour. The flood-tide sets from Kinnaird Head, at the western extremity of the bay, to Cairnbulg Point at the east, with a velocity of 24 knots an hour ; and the ebb-tide runs in a north-easterly direction from the end of thebreakwater.
