  • Welcome to Aberdeen & Aberdeenshire

    Welcome to Aberdeen & Aberdeenshire

    WELCOME TO ABERDEEN & ABERDEENSHIRE www.visitabdn.com @visitabdn | #visitABDN Film locations on the coast ITINERARY With its vast mountainous landscapes and outstanding coastlines, quaint fishing villages and fairytale castles, this part of Scotland has inspired world-famous story tellers and filmmakers. We've pulled together a two day itinerary to help you make the most of your 'stage and screen' trip to Aberdeenshire: Portsoy - Whisky Galore! (2016) Portsoy is a popular village thanks to its vibrant trademark boat festival and picturesque 17th century harbour, but that's not all. In 2016, Whisky Galore! was filmed on location in Portsoy. The film tells the true story of an incident that took place on the island of Eriskay when the SS Politician ran aground with a cargo including 28,000 cases of malt whisky starring James Cosmo and Eddie Izzard. Pennan - Whisky Galore! (2016) & Local Hero (1983) Whisky Galore! also filmed along the coastline in Pennan too and this wasn't the first time Pennan has shot to fame. Local Hero starring Burt Lancaster and Peter Capaldi, tells the story of an American oil executive who is sent to a remote Scottish village to acquire the village to convert it into a refinery. The film was filmed in Pennan and Banff and the red phonebox is one of the most famous in the world and can still be found in Pennan. Slains Castle - The Crown (2016 - ) & Dracula (1897) No trip to Aberdeenshire would be complete for fans of the Netflix show The Crown without a trip to Slains Castle on the coast of Cruden Bay.

  • Chapter Ix. Old Melbourne Described

    Chapter Ix. Old Melbourne Described

    CHAPTER IX. OLD MELBOURNE DESCRIBED. 1840—1843. SYNOPSIS:—Difficulties of Pedcstrianism—Early Legal Difficulties.—The Queen's Wharf—Solar Perplexities.—First Public Clock.—Early Letter-carriers. —Tardy Mail-deliveries.—First Burial Ground.—A Threatened Famine.—Early Mercantile Firms.—Jewish Residents.—Population of Colony in 1840-1.—Nocturnal Outrages.—Bill of Wants.—Sir Gcor«e Gipps' Visit.—•" Kiteflying."—The Unemployed.—Street Procession.—Open-air Demonstration.—Population of the Town. —First Executions of Criminals. —Commercial Depression.—Mr. Wentworth.—First Boiling-down Establishments.—Revival of Trade. PERSON now standing on the summit of Parliament House, and looking at the city spreading its wings, fan-like in every direction—its steeples, domes, and edifices glinting in the sunlight—the people, like bees, buzzing and busying about—the vehicles of every description, tram cars, and other evidences of active li'e thronging the streets—the whinnying and whistling of the "iron horse" as he rushes through the suburbs, and the fleet of shipping in Hobson's Bay—will smile with incredulity at my portraiture of the Melbourne of nearly half a century ago, yet it will be limned to the life without a single shade or tint of exaggeration thrown in to set off the effect. Forty odd years is such a brief period in the life of a great city, that unless the Melbourne of 1840 could be attested by an eye witness, it is difficult even to imagine the state of things then existent as compared with the present, and there never has been a stronger verification than the comparison supplies, of Burke's famous adage, that " fiction lags after fact, invention is unfruitful, and imagination is cold and barren." Melbourne in 1840 was certainly not a city, and could hardly be called a town ; nor did it even partake of the characteristics of a village or a hamlet.

Plots 1-9 have had planning applications applied for and are under consideration The sellers would consider selling the whole property with the developers carrying out the installation of mains water, mains electricity and a private sewage treatment plant but the most likely scenario would be for the sellers to sell all of the plots off as serviced plots with access roads, mains electricity, water and a private sewage treatment plant installed by them.
