    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.

  • 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.

  • Record Breaker
    Viewpoint Record breaker Time: 15 mins Region: Scotland Landscape: rural Location: Bridge over Clunie Water, Invercauld Road, Braemar, Aberdeenshire, AB35 5YP Grid reference: NO 15103 91384 Keep an eye out for: Snow on the hills above – it should be visible from late October until early May with the right weather conditions With a population of less than a thousand, the small village of Braemar on the edge of the Scottish Highlands in rural Aberdeenshire isn’t the sort of place you would imagine making too many headlines or breaking many records. But every few years, Braemar finds itself front-page news in several national newspapers. What makes Braemar in Aberdeenshire such a record breaker? The answer is that great British obsession - the weather. Braemar holds the record for the lowest ever UK temperature – it has reached - 27.2 °C twice, in 1895 and 1982. Whenever cold weather is predicted, meteorologists turn their attention to the weather station here at Braemar, as it’s usually colder than any other lowland station. But it’s not just cold temperatures that have made Braemar a record breaker. On 30th September 2015 it registered as one of the warmest places in the UK recording an unseasonably warm temperature of 24.0 °C. Yet the same day it was also the coldest place in the UK at -1.3 °C. The very next day (October 1st) it was again the coldest and warmest place meaning that for the two months in a row, Braemar recorded the warmest AND coldest monthly temperatures for the UK! So how can we explain this strange phenomenon? The reason is down to its geography.

  • Bathing Water Profile for Stonehaven
    Bathing Water Profile for Stonehaven Stonehaven, Scotland __________________ Current water classification https://www2.sepa.org.uk/BathingWaters/Classifications.aspx Today’s water quality forecast http://apps.sepa.org.uk/bathingwaters/Predictions.aspx _____________ Description Stonehaven bathing water is situated adjacent to the town of Stonehaven in Aberdeenshire. Stonehaven town is fronted by a half-moon bay made up of sandy beaches and a harbour. The designated bathing water encompasses an approximately 1 km stretch of this bay. The designated area is bound by the outflow of the River Carron and the harbour area jetty to the south, and rocky outcrops to the north. During high and low tides the approximate distance to the water’s edge can vary from 0–160 metres. The sandy beach slopes gently towards the water. Site details Local authority Aberdeenshire Council Year of designation 1999 Water sampling location NO 87650 85820 EC bathing water ID UKS7616058 Catchment description The catchment draining into the Stonehaven bathing water extends to 117 km2. The catchment varies in topography from high ground (maximum elevation 400 metres) in the west to the low-lying areas (average elevation 5 metres) along the coast. The main rivers in the bathing water catchment are the River Carron and River Cowie. These rivers drain into the Stonehaven bathing water. The area is predominantly rural (97%) with agriculture the major land use. The River Carron catchment is predominantly agricultural with mixed farming whereas the River Cowie catchment is predominantly forested. Approximately 2% of the bathing water catchment is urban, with the main population centre, Stonehaven, within 100 metres of the bathing water.

  • 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.

    Settlement Summary: Lumphanan Population: 602 Lumphanan - Open Spaces Audited Public Parks and Gardens 2% 6% 2% Schools/Institutions Observations Amenity Areas (of Community Council) Play Space Sports Areas None Received. Green Corridors/Riparian Routes Green Network Links Semi Natural Areas 41% Allotments Whilst there is not a great deal of Churchyards, Cemeteries amenity greenspace within Lumphanan, 49% Other Functional Greenspace it is fairly well linked. The stream Civic Space running through the village provides a blue green corridor which enables the passage of wildlife and biodiversity. Lumphanan is a rural village surrounded by open countryside and farmland which is easily accessible from the settlement. There are a number of path networks which lead from the village to the surrounding countryside including two core paths: the circular route leading from Macbeth Drive, extending north of the village to Old Military Road (which is part of the wider path network), and a circular route which extends west of the village to the castle. Open Space Requirements During the open space audit the following observations/recommendations were made: • The village park scored very well in terms of usage levels, attractiveness and maintenance. • The erection of signs to mark out the paths at Glen Road woodland • Creation of a formal path at the cemetery on Craigton Brae • The play area at the back to the town hall would benefit from the installation of a bench • The large site between Perkhill Brae and School Road might merit consideration for allotments, or a community garden area. The large proportion of semi-natural space in the village is due the inclusion of woodland behind the Stothart Memorial Church, whilst the significant sports area can be attributed to the golf course to the south.
