Kintore Station Site to Accommodate the Interchange Which Is on Raised Ground That Is Outside of the Floodplain on the Site SITE LOCATION & CONTEXT WHINSTONE BACKGROUND TAVELTY FARM OVERDON Aberdeenshire Council and Nestrans (the NURSING INVERURIE HOME Regional Transport Partnership) are jointly promoting a new railway station and transport * interchange at Kintore, with the support of Network Rail, ScotRail, and funding support from the Scottish Stations Fund. Aberdeenshire Council are now seeking planning permission to construct and operate the transport interchange, whilst Network Rail will be seeking planning A96 permission to construct and operate the railway platforms, passenger lifts and footbridge. The Transport Interchange will consist of a B993 parking area (for cars, bicycles, taxis and buses), access road and landscaping. This public event relates primarily to the Transport Interchange, however information is provided about the B993 proposed rail station as well. A Site Selection Study was undertaken by Aberdeenshire Council which evaluated four potential locations for the Kintore Rail Station and Transport Interchange. The proposed Site, outlined in red on the aerial photograph, was chosen due to: Proximity and convenient access to Fig 2. Site Location & Surrounding Context settlements The proposed Site is: KEY THAINSTONE • Walking distance from the centre of Kintore BUSINESS Site Boundary and Kintore Business Park (both approximately PARK 800 metres away) A96 Trunk Road KINTORE • Adjacent to the main bus route BUSINESS Main Distributor Road (B987) PARK • Accessible from the main distributor route (B987 Northern Road) and the A96 Trunk Road B994 & B993 Roads A96 • Adjacent to the Kintore to Inverurie core path/ Existing Rail Line strategic cycle path Existing Core Path / Strategic Cycle Path • Within 10 minutes’ drive of the centre of Inverurie PROPOSED Inverurie Train Station STATION & Availability of space for the Transport TRANSPORT Interchange INTERCHANGE * SITE There is sufficient space near to the proposed KINTORE Kintore Station Site to accommodate the Interchange which is on raised ground that is outside of the floodplain on the Site. Policy Context B987 The Site has been identified in the Local B994 Development Plan for a transport interchange and railway station since 2006. The proposal is also supported in local and regional transport Fig 1. Site Location & Wider Context strategies. Kintore Railway Station - Public Consultation HISTORY OF THE SITE TIMELINE OF SITE KEY The Site has a long history as a transportation route. The timeline and photos below outline 1867 the history of the Site and the various forms of transport which have passed through the Site since the 1800s. The proposed Railway Station is 1994 a continuation of the long history of utilising the Site for transportation purposes. Timeline Prior to the 1800s - Turnpike Road historically linked Kintore.

A canal milestone can be seen at Bridgend House (which used to be the old Fig. 3 Site Map 1867 Fig. 6 Site Map 1994 court and council house). See Fig. 13. 1850s - Kintore Railway Station opened, which was part of the Great North of Scotland Railway. The station was situated approximately 1km to the south east of the proposed Site and is now 1979 used for housing. -1992 The mainline was constructed first, connecting 1900 Aberdeen and Kintore. A branch line to Alford was constructed subsequently. Early 1960s - Kintore Railway Station and the branch line were closed and decommissioned. It Fig. 11 OS Map 1856 is the remains of the branch line which form the southern boundary of the Site. 1960s - The original trunk road went past the Site. This alignment included a bridge over the railway branch to Alford, just to the east of Overdon. Fig. 4 Site Map 1900 Fig. 7 Site Map 1979 - 1992 1970s - The bridge was removed and the road was straightened out. The trunk road moved approximately 20 metres to the south of Overdon. 1998 - The Kintore bypass and Tavelty grade separated junction were constructed. This 1965 required the realignment of the trunk road, and -1966 the creation of a new link to the junction with the A96 which we see today. 1925 -1926 Fig. 12 OS Map 1925 Mid-1990s - A series of studies commenced to investigate upgrades to the railway line and the possibility of a new railway station at Kintore.

    The Society of Advocates in Aberdeen Aberdeen University Review Aberdeen University Review, LVI, no. 195, Spring 1996 THE SOCIETY OF ADVOCATES IN ABERDEEN By Dorothea Bruce As Executive Secretary and Librarian to The Society of Advocates in Aberdeen I often have to conduct visitors round Advocates' Hall and exhibit some of the Society's treasures. After they have overcome their initial surprise at finding such a handsome building tucked away in Concert Court, which is only a back alley, visitors usually want to know why and when the Society was founded, and why its members are set apart from the other solicitors in Scotland by being dignified by the title 'advocate'. No date of its actual foundation can be determined, original records having been lost in a fire at the Record Office in Castle Street in 1721, but one must assume that the Society grew out of the natural expression of the desire of members of any profession to incorporate themselves for the purpose of mutual assistance and the exchange of professional expertise. As to why the members call themselves 'advocates', William Kennedy, in his Annals of Aberdeen published in 1818, states that 'the practitioners before the courts of adjudicature (in Aberdeen) have for a period of upwards of two hundred and fifty years, been distinguished by the title of advocates, which appeared to be sanctioned by many public deeds, and by judicial proceedings in the courts of record: but by what authority it had originally been conferred upon them we have not been informed.'1 (See also Appendix I) The most convincing theory in explanation of our members' right to the term 'advocate' appears in Scottish Notes and Queries and is attributed to an unnamed 'learned friend, a recognized authority on such matters.' It is suggested that before the institution of the College of Justice by James V, in 1532, Edinburgh was the seat of the great Ecclesiastical Court of the Archdeacon of the Lothians, and those who practised there were Advocates.

    Aberdeen History Trail The city through its historical times #aberdeentrails #aberdeentrails Aberdeen is bursting full of history! From its ancient origins to medieval burghs and King Robert The Bruce, from the Jacobite connections to the expansion in the Edwardian and Victorian times, the ‘Silver City by the Golden Sands’ has a long, important, and interesting history with many of its people contributing to the wider world. The city started out as three separate royal burghs – Old Aberdeen, New Aberdeen and Torry plus the parish of Woodside – which expanded and merged together to form the city as a whole. There was a major expansion in the Georgian, Edwardian and Victorian eras as the city made its first fortunes based on fishing, granite quarrying and shipbuilding and many of the grand buildings were built during these times. It also included the main thoroughfare, Union Street, which was raised up away from the mud and dirt and built on a series of bridges – it was such a major project it almost bankrupted the city! Enjoy exploring our beautiful city and finding out about its history!

    OP25 Persley Den, Woodside Masterplan Prepared by Halliday Fraser Munro on behalf of GSS Developments (Aberdeen) Ltd, Aberdeen Lads Club and Aberdeen City Council April 2014 P e r s l e y D e n M a s t e r p l a n 1 The Persley Den Development Framework was produced prior to the adoption of the Aberdeen Local Development Plan 2017, however its content remains valid and the document is still relevant in informing decision making. As part of the publication of the Local Development Plan 2017, an appraisal of the document has been undertaken and, as part of this process, policy references within the document have been reviewed and updated. Any queries concerning the text of the document should be directed to Planning and Sustainable Development (03000 200292 or [email protected]) for clarification. ‘A northern linear suburb of Aberdeen drawn out along the south bank of the River Don between Old Aberdeen and Bucksburn, Woodside developed as a separate mill village from the late 18th century in association with cotton spinning, bleaching, papermaking, iron founding and the Aberdeenshire Canal, which gave the settlement its linear morphology.’ (www.scottish-places.info) H a l l i d a y F r a s e r M u n r o 1 Contents Persley Den—the Vision 1.

  • Parish Life, Work and Leisure
    CHAPTER FIVE PARISH LIFE, WORK AND LEISURE Kintore was and to a certain extent still is an agricultural parish. We have a valuation of the parish dating back as far as 1696 and most of the farm properties mentioned then have names still recognisable today, (even though the spellings may have changed) such as Ratchill, Blairs, Cottoune, Leylodge, Tillibinne, Wardhouse, Midmill, Brae, Strathray, Bogheads, Toombelhill, later called Woumbillhill, and Dalwirie. In 1696 the entire valuation of the parish was £1070 Scots, but it is impossible to compare that with modern values. The biggest farm in the parish seems to have been Leylodge whose tenant was Robert Lesle(sic), valued at £15.0.8.and the smallest was Woodhead at a mere 17s8d. Most farms seem to have been valued at £5 or £6 Scots. Included in these valuations would be such items as farm-servants wages, rents from sub-tenants such as weavers, smiths, millers, tailors(sic), shoemakers and herds. Livestock would presumably also have been included. In the town or burgh the following people are important enough to be listed- 8 weavers, 2 shoemakers, 1 smith, 1 merchant, 2 tailors, 1 apprentice, 9 servants and the minister. For some reason the Torrieburne(sic) was listed separately. The 1696 valuation was put together by the Earl of Kintore’s Chamberlain, Robert Bruce, Balzie (Baillie) of Kintore and Mr George Birnie, Schoolmaster of Kintore and Clerk and Collector of the said parish. A century later, at the time of the Old Statistical Account, Reverend George Adam tells us that the town had 57 dwelling houses, and a population of 94 males and 134 females, 54 horses, 168 black cattle and 300 sheep.

  • PREFACE in Issuing in Book Form a Collection of Homely Songs And
    PREFACE In issuing in book form a collection of homely songs and ballads (a few of which have already been favour- ably received), the writer has been persuaded to preface them with a short historical sketch of the district to which they mostly refer. The subject was so congenial and extensive that the narrative speedily attained to alar ming dimensions, and has only been reduced to its present size by a wholesale pruning, more heavy perhaps than judicious. The fortunes of the Gordons are so intimately bound up and associated with Strathb- ogie that the history of the Strath must be, to a great extent, a history of this powerful clan, whose actions have so materially influenced the destinies of Scotland. Reared amongst the expiring echoes of old-world legends and superstitions, and come of an old Strathbogie stock (e terra natu in their own opinion), who looked with something like reverence on a troubled but heroic past, the history and traditions of his native glen have always appeared invested with an extraordinary charm to the author, whose writing he would fain hope is in the spirit which animated the Strath with any preten- sions to the well-balanced accuracy of the unbiased historian. In the first chapter, from the want of sufficient data, probability must take the place of accuracy. When such eminent writers as Chalmers, Garnett, Taylor, Skene, Robertson, Forbes-Leslie, and Pinkerton differ so widely in their views regarding the Picts and their language, who will presume to decide? The preponder- ance of opinion certainly leans towards a Celtic extraction and tongue.

On the eighth day of November, 1901, the last member of the fifth generation of the Maryland branch of the Ferguson family in the State of New York passed away. There immediately sprang up among the younger generations of the family in Ontario County, New York, an interest in their ancestors and a desire to know something of their gene- ology. An investigation was begun by the author, making General James Ferguson of the English Army the key to the inquiry. After about a year's search, a clue was obtained through James Ferguson, K. C, of Edinburgh, Sheriff of Argyle. The following traditions in regard to the family in Scotland have been handed down from generation to generation in the American family: the the lirst King of the That family was descended from Fergus, Scots ; that there was a noted sea captain in the family who died leaving a large property, and that the family in America were among the heirs ; that one member of the family was in the Scottish Parliament, and another was a noted general who lived in the time of Oliver Cromwell ; that one member of the family saved a portion of the people of Scotland from starving during a famine, and that he was the business man of a Duke ; that a noted Colonel was killed on King's mountain in the Revolutionary War, and that the family in America was founded by three brothers who came to America at an early date, one settling in the New England States, one in the Southern States, and the other, Robert, in Maryland, on land where the City of Washington, D.
