Those known to have telephones are marked accordingly. In Britain, the post office had a monopoly on mail and was responsible for inland telegrams and telephones from 1911. In Huntly, the telegraph system was linked to the railway. The first telephone in Huntly was installed in 1896 for George Arnott & Sons; by 1901 there were eight subscribers Telephone messages were conveyed via a local operator and trunk calls, if available at all, were complicated and rarely used. There were intricate arrangements for postal delivery through a network of post offices near railway stations, and post horses. In 1913, job and post horses could be hired from R. Symon, Littlejohn Street, Huntly, and from George Watt, Gartly Station. The post office in Huntly in 1913 was located in the former Court House on the Square run by postmaster, Alexander Larnach.

    THE MARQUIS OF HUNTLY, “COBBIE” AND “THE KING OF FORGUE” 1800s ames Allardes had inherited Boynsmill Estate in 1800, but by 1802 was living at J Cobairdy, where, although only the tenant of John Morison of Auchintoul, he lived very much the lifestyle of a laird and acquired the sobriquet of “Cobbie” as a result. 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.

    Highland Place Names from West Aberdeenshire, Scotland Lillia de Vaux, Crampette Herault (Rebecca S. Johnson, 2019) Introduction This article consists of mostly Scots or Latinized Scots names compiled from Place Names from West Aberdeenshire [19]. This article includes Highland place names primarily dated to the 12th-17th centuries, with a few earlier forms. The names show influences from the underlying Gaelic, Pictish, English, or Latin. Place Names from West Aberdeenshire was written by James MacDonald and edited and published posthumously in 1899 by the New Spalding Club (an antiquarian society dedicated to the publication of texts concerning the history of Aberdeenshire). MacDonald relied heavily on 19th century transcriptions of charters and other sources rather than the primary sources. Thankfully, many of his sources are available online and do not appear to include obviously normalized spellings, except where noted in the comments. The place names are listed first by MacDonald's modern header forms, which include some editorial accents for pronunciation aids. Only places dated up to 1650 are listed below. In a few cases, an exact date was not given by MacDonald. If anything was not dated, or the text was unclear, the spellings and dates were verified using his or other sources when possible. If a date could not be determined, only forms using period spelling conventions and/or implied by the text to be period forms are included; these are marked as "not dated" in the raw data below. In several cases, MacDonald noted that a date was recorded using a 16th century hand. These have been dated as "16th C".

  • Welcome to the Gordon Schools
    Welcome to The Gordon Schools Rector’s Introduction The Gordon Schools is a non-denominational, comprehensive Aberdeenshire secondary school, providing educational opportunities for pupils aged 11 to 18 years old. Our School has a rich and successful history stretching back over 175 years when the Duchess of Gordon combined four local schools and the famous north-east architect Archibald Simpson designed the original buildings, providing a striking and distinctive landmark archway. We draw from fourteen local primary schools located in an area of sixteen miles around the town of Huntly in the north east of Scotland. Our current school roll stands at around 735 pupils. The School is strongly tied to the heart of the local community. Involvement with local organisations and businesses is increasingly integral to providing a rich educational context for learning. We value the input of parents and carers who are very much encouraged to become involved in the life of The Gordon Schools. We work in partnership with our Parent Council who support the school in guiding our educational direction and with valuable fund-raising. We always welcome positive and constructive ways of improving links between pupils‘ home lives and our School. We aim to continually develop and improve quality learning and teaching experiences at The Gordon Schools. Building on prior learning is always important at every transition in a child‘s learning from age 3 through to 18. We have high expectations of our pupils, encouraging each one to attain the best they possibly can at every stage through a journey of life-long learning.
