  • 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.

Apologies: Councillors D Aitchison and I Taylor. Officers: Director of Infrastructure Services, Head of Service (Transportation), Head of Service (Economic Development and Protective Services), Team Manager (Planning and Environment, Chris Ormiston), Team Leader (Planning and Environment, Piers Blaxter), Senior Policy Planner (Ailsa Anderson), Internal Waste Reduction Officer (Economic Development), Corporate Finance Manager (S Donald), Principal Solicitor, Legal and Governance (R O’Hare), Principal Committee Services Officer and Committee Officer (F Brown). OPENING REMARKS BY THE CHAIR The Chair opened the meeting by saying a few words about the weather and recent flooding across the north of Aberdeenshire, which had seen seven bridges closed, with some being destroyed and others extensively damaged. There was also damage to properties, with gardens and driveways being washed away and the Scottish Fire and Rescue being called out to assist with the pumping of water out from homes. Banff, Macduff, Whitehills, St Combs and Crovie were particularly badly hit, along with the King Edward area. The Chair commended the resilience of the local community, with neighbours looking out for one another and businesses starting the clean-up with repairs underway. The closure of seven bridges around King Edward had been particularly challenging and demonstrated the vulnerability of ageing infrastructure which was simply no longer fit for conditions, whether that was the volume and weight of traffic or extreme weather conditions.

  • 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.
