We want visitors to see Huntly’s way of life and to make the most of the town’s events and attractions – the farmers market on the first Saturday of every month in the Square; the majesty of Huntly Castle, or the all year brilliance of Leith Hall’s gardens. But we will also bring you up-to-date news of events, concerts, art festivals, our famous food fair and of course the new annual Huntly Walking Festival. And don’t forget the all important coffee mornings - a Huntly institution! The Bogie Bugle brings you places to eat and shop. Don’t just take our word for it – pick up a copy of Huntly Country, the weekly Huntly Express, the Huntly Handbook or log on to www.huntly.net.

Amongst its many goals, HDDT is committed to helping our community be as active and healthy as possible, as well as reducing the impact of our carbon emissions. The Huntly Green Travel Hub is a key outlet for helping achieve these goals, through our community car share and e-bike hire scheme. There are three vehicles for use in our car club and 14 (soon to be 24) electric bikes for hire. We are also focusing on several other travel related projects, including creating safe routes to school, electric vehicle charging points and path network development. For the last two years, HDDT’s work in this area has been supported by Paths for All’s Smarter Choices, Smarter Places (SCSP) Open Fund. The fund aims to encourage people to change their behaviour to walk or cycle as part of their everyday short journeys. In that time, we have seen our car club and e-bike usage rise significantly. With government targets to stop production of all new petrol and diesel vehicles by 2030, coupled with the Scottish Government announcement of £500 million to active travel projects over the next 5 years, this is a very exciting and rapidly growing sector.

  • 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.
