    Reference code: GB228 AC9/8/1 Title Papers relating to Robertson's Map of Aberdeenshire, Banffshire and Kincardineshire Dates 1790 - 1836 1874 1938 Level of description Fonds Extent and medium 2 boxes Name of creator The Map Committee of the Commissioners of Supply and Gentlemen of Aberdeen County Administrative history Interest in the mapping of Aberdeen and Banff counties may have commenced around 1790, with a proposal by James Stobie for publishing a map of Aberdeenshire and Banffshire by subscription. In 1801, at a meeting of the Edinburgh Aberdeenshire Club, Sir William Forbes expressed a need for a survey and map of Aberdeen and Banff to assist in the development of improvements such as roads and bridges in the counties. This idea was given unanimous support and a committee was set up to bring the proposal under the consideration of the county gentlemen (AC9/8/1/5). On 11 October 1806 printed proposals for publishing a map by subscription from a survey by John Ainslie were sent to potential subscribers (AC9/8/1/14). This attempt appears to have been unsuccessful and on 10 August 1809 James Robertson, land surveyor, wrote to Sir William Forbes informing him that he would soon be completing the fieldwork for his survey and map of Northumberland and would be available to survey and map Aberdeenshire and Banffshire, as requested by Sir William Forbes three years earlier on seeing Robertson's topographical survey and map of Jamaica (AC9/8/1/15). Sir William Forbes duly informed the Commissioners of Supply of Aberdeenshire who decided to investigate this proposal further as Alexander Sutherland, land surveyor, whom they had employed to undertake the task had left the country (AC9/8/1/16).

    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.

It lies on the northern shores of Upper Loch Torridon, a sea loch, and beneath the spectacular mountain ridges of Beinn Alligin (3,232ft) and Lianthach (3,456ft). The southerly views across the sea loch are truly magnificent, topped off with the 2,957ft peak of Beinn Damph. The nearest major town/city is Inverness, which lies about 47 miles to the east and which provides a full range of shops, services and amenities as well as an international airport and a mainline rail station. Torridon village is at the head of the loch about 1.5miles along the shore line and comprises a small crofting community at the end of one of the most beautiful west Highland passes from where there are breathtaking views over the loch to the Applecross Hills.
