Continue to follow the signs for Aberdeen and cross back over the dual carriageway. After passing the garden centre on the left, immediately after The Lodge House turn into the driveway marked private. This picturesque driveway leads to the Castle and on entering the grounds take the left branch of the internal gravel drive and go to the end where there is a private turning and parking area for number 2 (also known as South Range). There is further visitor parking on the right branch and at the rear by the garages, however please do not park in front of the neighbouring houses. Location Stonehaven is a town in the north east of Scotland, located 16 miles south of Aberdeen. The town developed as a fishing port and as the county town of Kincardineshire it featured (as did the surrounding area) in the recently released film adaptation of Lewis Grassic Gibbon’s classic ‘Sunset Song’. The town has been a traditional tourist destination for many years. It has become increasingly popular with overseas visitors who come to see the iconic Scottish fortress, Dunnottar Castle. The town benefits from a delightful harbour area with fine traditional pubs and restaurants. Stonehaven hosts its world famous Hogmanay fire ball procession and music event on New Year’s Eve in the town centre.Stonehaven is excellently situated for transport. The train station is served by frequent services to Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow, East Coast Line to London and Cross Country to Birmingham and the West Country. The station benefits from the advantage of free car parking. Buses regularly run from the town to Aberdeen, Dundee and Perth. The town is adjacent to the A90 allowing easy access to Aberdeen and the north; Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow to the south. Stonehaven itself has nursery, primary and secondary education. Lathallan offers nursery, junior and senior schooling. Other private schools in Aberdeen are well connected by the public transport services above. Stonehaven will be at the southern end of the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route that is scheduled to be completed in 2018. This will allow rapid access to Aberdeen Airport and business areas to the west and north of Aberdeen. Aberdeen Airport offers direct flights to hubs in London, Paris, Amsterdam and Frankfurt. The airport is also a hub for the main transport routes for personnel working on the offshore oil and gas installations. History Fetteresso Castle, or as it was originally known, Fetteresso Palace, is first recorded in the 16th century as a Keith house, though the site has been inhabited much longer, with a Bronze Age burial mound standing by the castle entrance. That house was ruined by Montrose in 1645 as part of the reprisals for the refusal of the Earl Marischal to leave the nearby Dunnottar Castle to join him during the Wars of the Three Kingdoms. It was then rebuilt as a fortified house; some of the gun slots from that period can be seen in the cellars. The Chevalier St George or Old Pretender stayed in the house during the 1715 Jacobite rising, and was acclaimed King James VIII/III by the Earl of Mar in the courtyard. With the failure of the rising the house was forfeited and passed through the hands of the infamous York Buildings Company and eventually into the family of Vice Admiral Robert Duff. They substantially rebuilt the house by 1808 into the outward form as a ‘castle’ with crenellations that it is today, and lived in it until the Second World War. In 1947 the castle and remaining policies were sold and became a hotel, and subsequently resold to a local farmer who deroofed the castle to avoid paying rates on it. In 1993 the castle was rebuilt as seven individual homes in seven acres of grounds. Description In a bygone era the part of the castle that is now South Range was the grand ballroom. South facing views capture a wonderful vista of rolling countryside, the Carron water and a woodland valley which is a haven for wildlife and birds.

  • The Burnett Banner, the House of Burnett Inc
    THE BU RNETT BAN NER B Burnett Newsletter Edition No 9 (including House of Burnett March 2010 BURNETT ART GALLERY There are a large number of talented artists amongst the Burnetts and it is the intention to include one or two Burnett works in each edition of the Banner. Since this has only been a very recent idea, I have had no time to seek contributions but I am using this opportunity to invite Burnetts to submit work to me for inclusion in future Banners. I have to point out the editor’s decision for inclusion is final and space will be limited. However, I welcome all contributions, regardless of the form of art, and would be grateful if they could be accompanied by the title of the work and the briefest of CV’s of the artist. For the opening of the Gallery, and for reasons that include appropriateness, I have selected a painting of Crathes which was given to me by the late Ruth Burnett Phillips who so sadly died recently and whose obituary is later in this edition of the Banner. The painting hangs beside my desk in my study. My wife, Fiona, took up painting only very recently and her first painting, The Dotty Mug, hangs in our kitchen at House of Crathes. Whilst there are professionals waiting in the wings for inclusions in future editions of the Banner, I also thought that it Crathes Castle would be nice to start this column with two The Dotty Mug Burnetts who have worked in art solely for their own pleasure.

Dunnottar is derived from Gaelic meaning ‘Fort on the shelving ground’ or ‘Terraced slope’ referring to the slope on the landward side, it was referred to as Duin-fother in the 7 th century. The impressive ruin of Dunnottar Castle was used in part of the filming of Mel Gibson’s 'Hamlet'. House of Ury (2005). Ury House (or Urie) one time residence of Sir Alexander Baird stands about one mile west of Stonehaven. Currently a roofless ruin; Ury is a large Elizabethan mansion built in 1885 incorporating parts of an earlier Z-plan tower house which dates from the 16th and 17th centuries. The original tower house was owned by the Fraser’s; it then passed to the Keith’s Earl Marischal due to marriage. It was later sold to the Hay’s of Errol in 1415, but made its way back to the Keith’s who bought it in 1647, only to sell it a year later to Barclay of Mathers. It was purchased by the Baird family in 1854 and in 1946 sold to pay death duties to the Holman’s. The house was sold to the Wiseley’s of Aberdeen and sadly the roof was taken off in the early 1950’s 1 Anonymous In Stoney ANONYMOUS IN STONEY By Jean Kemlo Edited by Stanley Bruce Published by BARD BOOKS Photography by Stanley Bruce 2 Anonymous In Stoney Copyright © Jean Kemlo & Stanley Bruce First edition This edition published in 2006 by Bard Books.
