It has a colourful history according to the following account (From ‘Scottish Fiddle Club of Colorado Some Perspectives on Scottish Fiddling’) relating to the eighteenth century: "An almost invariable accompaniment of certain of the fairs was the occurrence of party fights, or personal encounters between rustic athletes fond of testing their physical prowess. These encounters, which ordinarily took place about the close of the fair, were sufficiently brutal in character, the combatants often mercilessly belabouring each other with cudgels.

One of his neighbouring landowners was the Duke of Gordon, and both men knew each other and had mutual dealings, especially when it came to improving the estate boundaries between lands at Kinnoir and Cobairdy. Aberdeen Journal 24 February 1802 The Duke’s son and heir, George, Marquis of Huntly at this time lived at Huntly Lodge, and oversaw the running of his father’s estates in the Huntly area, and became closely acquainted with James Allardes and also with Alexander Shand, in Conland. The outcome of these friendships was that these two prominent men of Forgue society were regular guests of the Marquis at his lavish parties.

As the Eirst Edition of this work was evidently an object of much satisfaction to the Author, and as its authority has been recognised by its being used so freely by later writers, I have felt in preparing this Second Edition that I was acting under a weighty responsibility both to the public and to Mr. Jervise's memory. Many fields have presented themselves for independent research, but as the plan of the work and its limits belonged to the author and not to the editor, I did not feel justified in materially altering either of them.

  • Cuttieshillock Steading Tarland, Aboyne AB34 4YQ Cuttieshillock Steading Tarland, Aboyne AB34 4YQ
    Cuttieshillock Steading Tarland, Aboyne AB34 4YQ Cuttieshillock Steading Tarland, Aboyne AB34 4YQ Cuttieshillock Steading is an L shaped steading rebuilt using the original stone and to its original footprint. The property has a light and contemporary feel whilst maintaining a certain degree of character typical of an original farm building of the area. Enjoying a beautiful position nestled in the countryside around the Howe of Cromar, with outstanding views and a good degree of privacy; this hidden gem provides tranquillity and peace for those seeking a rural lifestyle Attention to detail, and easy maintenance have been keenly observed in the creation of this home. There is underfloor heating, generated from the ground source heat pump, solar panels, Nordan double glazing, engineered oak wood flooring throughout most of the living accommodation and beautiful limestone tiled bathrooms. The accommodation has been designed to make the most of the spectacular views, with an abundance of glazing throughout, an intelligent layout, and access to the front and rear of the property from the main reception rooms. Natural garden grounds with all native species surround the property, providing a haven for wildlife. The unfenced boundary allows completely open views to Morven and Lochnagar to the west. An area of lawn immediately adjacent to the house slopes away to a natural pond. The raised walled garden area, which can be accessed from the utility room, is an attractive reminder that the steading was originally used as a horse mill and creates a wonderful sun trap. Directions: From Aboyne take the B9094 to Tarland. Just before the T junction take the turn to the left, marked by a Mackinnons Sale Board.
