    1 Cliffs of the North and South East Coasts

    Aberdeenshire Council - Local Landscape Designations Review report by LUC 1 Cliffs of the North and South East Coasts RANKED CRITERIA Typicality / Representativeness High Narrow coastal strip between Cullen and Fraserburgh, and south of Peterhead, comprising a diverse landscape of sandy beaches and dunes, as well as rocky headlands and sheer cliffs. Rarity / Uniqueness Medium Coastal cliffs are similarly found on the east coast of Aberdeenshire, south of Peterhead, but those on the north coast are more cohesive and form a defined edge to the headland. Intactness and condition Medium Trees and woodland are limited in this windswept landscape. Fields are enclosed by hedgerows and stone dykes, with large farm buildings. Coastal villages are intact. Wildness Medium Accessible and well settled, but dominated by the influence of the sea and the elements, lending the landscape qualities of greater wildness. Scenic qualities High Although narrow, this landscape feels open and large scale due to the influence of the sea and sky, with high headlands, sheer cliffs, narrow inlets, occasional sandy bays and attractive villages. Enjoyment High A popular destination, with tourist accommodation in fishing villages and caravan parks. Accessible via coastal walks and NCN 1, which runs between Cullen and Banff before heading inland. Built heritage assets High Traditional fishing villages constructed in local stone, many of which are Conservation Areas eg Sandend, Portsoy, Banff, Gardenstown, Crovie and Pennan. Several scheduled monuments including Pitsligo Castle (near Rosehearty), Dundarg Castle (NW of New Aberdour) and Castle of Findon (fort & castle south west of Gardenstown). Cultural qualities High Shipyards at Macduff. Slains Castle near Cruden Bay was said to give Bram Stoker the inspiration for Count Dracula's castle.

    CLAYMORE Service, Education, Advocacy for the Scottish-American Ancestral Diaspora July 2020 COSCA 2020 AGM RESCHEDULED! Due to the COVID19 Pandemic, the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games—the regular site for COSCA’s Annual General Meeting since our founding in 1976—was cancelled for 2020. As a result, COSCA’s AGM has had to be rescheduled. Due to continued closures and cancellations of large public gatherings, the decision has been made to hold this year’s AGM online, as is allowed by applicable state law. Accordingly, COSCA will convene its AGM remotely, via Zoom. We are looking at several possible dates later in this Calendar Year. The new date and time for the AGM, as well as directions how to join the meeting, will be announced soon on the COSCA website (www.cosca.scot). Please consult the website for further details.

  • Welcome to Aberdeen & Aberdeenshire

    Welcome to Aberdeen & Aberdeenshire

    WELCOME TO ABERDEEN & ABERDEENSHIRE www.visitabdn.com @visitabdn | #visitABDN Fishing on the coast ITINERARY Our crystal-clear lochs, two snow-fed rivers, great estates combined with sea angling and stocked trout fisheries mean that Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire is one of the best places to fish in Scotland. Anglers come from all over the globe to fish these wonderful rivers that are woven into the cultural history of Aberdeenshire and play an important role in our communities. Here are our suggestions for how to spend 48 hours in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire: River Dee Where to fish The longest river in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire is the River Dee which flows over 87 miles (140km) from the heart of Cairngorms National Park to the North Sea at Aberdeen. The River Dee is one of the most famous rivers for fly fishing for salmon in the fast flowing, pristine waters that are home to a succession of salmon pools. The river is split into three reaches which vary throughout the seasons and water conditions. More information can be found at FishDee. Where to eat Refuel for lunch at The Boat Inn in Aboyne, the 5* B&B serves scrumptious locally sourced food and drink overlooking the River. Keep an eye on the events calendar as the bar frequently hosts live music. Where to stay After a tranquil day of catching fish on the river, enjoy a stay at the luxurious Ballogie Estate. Ranging from cosy cottages that sleep up to six guests to the grand Ballogie House set in beautiful private gardens. Ballogie Estate manages three fishing beats so you are never too far away from the calming sound of the River.

EDINBURG-H, WOOD C? LONDON, CAMPBELL,AR&YLL PLACE. ^l/?s7 r/Z.vo /be 7/y.if/o/'{/>/■ . lut/io/'. 4 SIR CHARLES. With sincere respect, I thank yon for permission to preface this Tolnme of music with yonr name. Withont your kind patronag*e and encouragement, the work had never, ( at least by its Author) been published; and heartily' do I wish it were more worthy of your acceptance. Not havings enjoyed the advantage, in my earlier years, of a thorougdi training* in the theory of music, my compositions cannot claim to rank with the productions of those who have made the science of music their study throug*h life: they are, as you, Sir Charles, and many of my friends know, the “fruits of leisure hours.” I would, however, fain flatter myself that the Strathspeys and Reels throug-hout the work, will be found to be composed in that style of Dance Music most appreciated by the people of the Highlands of Aberdeen and Banffshire. The critic in musical composition may, for the reasons already stated find a few errors throughout the volume; but, so far as possible, I have kept clear of the crime of plagiarism, by aiming* at originality in the airs.

  • Don't Go Chasing Waterfalls

    Don't Go Chasing Waterfalls

    Don’t go chasing waterfalls There are nearly 300 named waterfalls in Scotland but hardly any in Aberdeenshire. Apart from the Falls of Feugh at Banchory and Linn of Dee at Braemar, you would need to go west to the more mountainous and wetter limits of Aberdeenshire and beyond to find significant waterfalls. So, in the words of the 1994 hit single “Waterfalls” by American group TLC, “Don’t go chasing waterfalls, please stick to the rivers and lakes that you’re used to”. We are all very familiar with the rivers Dee and Don, so in this jaunt, we are going to take a counter-clockwise route which essentially follows the River Don towards its source and then joins the River Dee as it flows downstream to the sea. Of course, you could do the route clock wise or backwards. We start our drive / ride at the mouth of the Don on the Beach Esplanade at the Bridge of Don and on the way out, we generally remain north of the river. We reach as far west as Corgarff, where we cross the Grampian Mountains on the Old Military Road, reaching an altitude of about 300m, then go through Glen Gairn where we follow the River Gairn till it meets the River Dee at Bridge of Gairn. On the return journey, we travel mostly on the south side of the River Dee and finish at Pocra Quay by the mouth of the river. If you reset your trip meter at the start point, you will find that the route is about 115 miles in total and you will have made 16 bridge crossings.
