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 Cairngorm Club Journal 020, 1903
    EXCURSIONS AND NOTES. MOST of the members of the Club know Bennachie, or, if they don't, they ought to be heartily ashamed of themselves. In my opinion, no one should be admitted to membership who has A WINTER DAY ON not been on the top—in fa-ct, on all the tops— BENNACHIE. of Bennachie. I admit I have a peculiar liking for Bennachie, that "King of common hills". But to our tale. My friend and I left Aberdeen with, the 8.5 a.m. train on New-Year's Day, and in due course arrived at Pitcaple. We spent little time in the vicinity of the station, for there was nothing very attractive—everything appeared to be wrapt in slumber. We were at the Maiden Stane and into the Woods of Pittodrie in a comparatively short time, the morning wind making our ears tingle. But what a refreshing and invigorating effect it had as compared with what we had felt in the city! We had not gone far up the hill road when snow began to make its appearance, at first in little patches; but very soon we found that the road was practically snowed up, while here and there the snow had been blown into beautiful, fantastic shapes. The surface of the snow was, on the whole, quite hard, but occasionally we found our- selves on a soft bit, where we floundered, sometimes disappearing almost out of sight, until we got on to the hard snow again. On arriving at the Oxen Craig we had a remarkably good view in some dii'ections; the hills to the north were white from top to bottom.

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.
