Getting Here NOTES Gardenstown is a dramatic and unspoiled fishing village 8 miles east of Macduff. The B9031 goes past the road into the village. For 273 bus times from Banff (not Sundays) please go to www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/publictransport/ timetables. Image credit: Caledonian Images A weekend of arts and crafts exhibitions and activities in Gardenstown Friday 12th to Sunday 14th August 2016 Parking Parking is available at New Ground, to the east of Gardenstown beyond industrial units and at the start of the footpath to Crovie. The traditional nature of the village means that parking is limited, but you will find spaces elsewhere - please be aware of access for residents. Some parking is possible on the roadside down from the Church and by the harbour, particularly near the Harbour toilets. If you are new to the village we suggest you do not drive along the sea-front to Seatown, it is narrow and difficult to negotiate. Please be aware that both Main Street and High Street are cul-de-sacs with no parking on High Street. Disabled Access Due to the traditional nature of the village, and the buildings, few venues are very access friendly. However, volunteers at the venues will try their best to assist visitors where possible. Please note that some Venues are approached only by stairs - Venues 5, 6, 7, 11, 12 For further information on the area, try going to: www.discovergardenstown.co.uk www.banffshirecoast.com/gardenstown Follow the event on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/gamriecreatives ‘Calm Bay’ - a two colour lino print of Gardenstown by Bryan Angus WELCOME Venue Key Welcome to the third Gamrie Creatives event.

    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.

Apologies: Councillors D Aitchison and I Taylor. Officers: Director of Infrastructure Services, Head of Service (Transportation), Head of Service (Economic Development and Protective Services), Team Manager (Planning and Environment, Chris Ormiston), Team Leader (Planning and Environment, Piers Blaxter), Senior Policy Planner (Ailsa Anderson), Internal Waste Reduction Officer (Economic Development), Corporate Finance Manager (S Donald), Principal Solicitor, Legal and Governance (R O’Hare), Principal Committee Services Officer and Committee Officer (F Brown). OPENING REMARKS BY THE CHAIR The Chair opened the meeting by saying a few words about the weather and recent flooding across the north of Aberdeenshire, which had seen seven bridges closed, with some being destroyed and others extensively damaged. There was also damage to properties, with gardens and driveways being washed away and the Scottish Fire and Rescue being called out to assist with the pumping of water out from homes. Banff, Macduff, Whitehills, St Combs and Crovie were particularly badly hit, along with the King Edward area. The Chair commended the resilience of the local community, with neighbours looking out for one another and businesses starting the clean-up with repairs underway. The closure of seven bridges around King Edward had been particularly challenging and demonstrated the vulnerability of ageing infrastructure which was simply no longer fit for conditions, whether that was the volume and weight of traffic or extreme weather conditions.

MEETING AT BANFF. A MEETING of this Club was held in the Reading Room of the Town and County Club on the evening of Friday —the Rev. James Davidson in the chair. Mr Robert Kelman, teacher, Boyndie, and Mr John Garden, draper, Banff, were admitted members of the Club. The Secretary read the following paper by Mr A. W. Farquhar, M.A., Bracoden :— ON SOME ENTRIES IN THE GAMRIE REGISTERS—1704-1804. Many things are recorded in the old registers of Gamrie.
