  • 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.

The settlement is characterised by the woodland setting of Balmedie House and the long sand beaches of Balmedie Country Park. Balmedie is a key settlement in both the Energetica area and the Aberdeen to Peterhead strategic growth area (SGA). As such, Balmedie will play an important role in delivering strategic housing and employment allowances. In line with the vision of Energetica, it is expected that new development in Balmedie will contribute to transforming the area into a high quality lifestyle, leisure and global business location. Balmedie is expected to become an increasingly attractive location for development as the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route reaches completion and decreases commuting times to Aberdeen. It is important that the individual character of the village is retained in the face of increased demand. The village currently has a range of services and facilities, which should be sustained during the period of this plan. In addition, the plan will seek to improve community facilities, including new health care provision.

  • A Sulphur Isotope Study of Ni-Cu Mineralization in the Huntly-Knock Caledonian Mafic and Ultramafic Intrusions of Northeast Scotland
    Journal of the Geological Society, London, Vol. 146, 1989, pp. 675-684, 9 figs, 3 tables. Printed in Northern Ireland A sulphur isotope study of Ni-Cu mineralization in the Huntly-Knock Caledonian mafic and ultramafic intrusions of northeast Scotland T.A. FLETCHER’, A. J. BOYCE’ & A.E. FALLICK’ 1 Department of Geology and Petroleum Geology, University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen AB9 lAS, UK ’Isotope Geology Unit, SURRC, East Kilbride G75 OQU, UK Abstract: The Caledonianmafic and ultramfic intrusions of theGrampian region of northeast Scotland are synorogenic tholeiitic plutons of middle Ordovician age. They include layered cumulates andxenolithic, contaminated and granular gabbroic varieties. The structurallycomplex Huntly- Knock intrusions contain locally significant quantities of Fe-Ni-Cu sulphide, while the associated country rock metasediments are sporadically enriched in Fe-sulphide. Sulphur isotope analyses on sulphide from within and around the intrusions give the following ranges of 6”s; -0.1 to -1.7% for disseminated to massive sulphides in the complex and deformed Littlemill-Auchencrieve contact zone; i0.7 to +4.3% for disseminated interstitial sulphides within cumulate and granular rocks; +1.7 to +6.0% for graphitic and sulphidic pyroxenitic pegmatites; -6.0 to +16.5% for disseminated sulphide from country rock metasediments; -4.0 to +8.2% for sulphides in partially melted sediments. 634Sof sulphides in the igneous rocks (2 = +0.5 f 2.4% (la), n = 36) lie within the range usually indicatedfor primary magmatic sulphur, i.e. Of3%, so thatthe sulphide system was probably dominated bymagmatic sulphur. There is, however, a distinct difference between the isotopically heavier cumulate and granular rocks (j = f2.4 f 1.2% (la) n = 9) and the lighter sulphide of the contact zone (i= -1.1 f 0.4% (la), n = 21).

    THE MIGHTY. CASTLES OF DEESIDE No tartan-and-bagpipe tourist brigades or lurking lakeside monsters­ just Scotland's most remarkable homes BY LINDSY VAN GELDER PHOTOGRAPHS BY CEDUsnQf.HERSYKES Adifficult climb up II sheer crag will lead you Lo the magnili' nt ruins of Dunnottar Castle. a fourteenth­ century fortres: south of Aberdeen. nless they're in the oil business, most Americans never get near Aberdeen, Scot­ land's third largest city. Few of us have traveled the surrounding countryside, a wedge of land carved by the rivers Don and Dee, which form a sideways V to the north and south of the city. The region has none of the haggis-ancl-bagpipe tour­ ist trappings of the Northern Highlands, no peekaboo prehistoric monsters in its lochs, and not even much claim to the greatest pages of Scottish history. But what it does have-aside from an unspoiJ ed natural beauty all its own-is a remarkable concentra­ ti on of castl es, many in the baronial style unique to Scotland. In fa ct, so many are clustered near the banks of the Dee that the area is known as the Royal Deeside. Even on a misty day, the hills and fields of the Deeside and Donside are a brilliant green, like The Wizard of Oz's Emeralcl City. Other colors do dot the landscape-gold broom growing wild along the roads ide, gray granite cottages, black and white cows and sheep- but they only make the gl·een look greener. It would be dazzling if it weren't also so sleepy.
