The Trustees now believe that we need to focus on increasing our engagement with the community, as the feedback we have received has been that BCT has in some areas become disconnected from the community.

  • Welcome to Aberdeen & Aberdeenshire
    WELCOME TO ABERDEEN & ABERDEENSHIRE www.visitabdn.com @visitabdn | #visitABDN Film locations on the coast ITINERARY With its vast mountainous landscapes and outstanding coastlines, quaint fishing villages and fairytale castles, this part of Scotland has inspired world-famous story tellers and filmmakers. We've pulled together a two day itinerary to help you make the most of your 'stage and screen' trip to Aberdeenshire: Portsoy - Whisky Galore! (2016) Portsoy is a popular village thanks to its vibrant trademark boat festival and picturesque 17th century harbour, but that's not all. In 2016, Whisky Galore! was filmed on location in Portsoy. The film tells the true story of an incident that took place on the island of Eriskay when the SS Politician ran aground with a cargo including 28,000 cases of malt whisky starring James Cosmo and Eddie Izzard. Pennan - Whisky Galore! (2016) & Local Hero (1983) Whisky Galore! also filmed along the coastline in Pennan too and this wasn't the first time Pennan has shot to fame. Local Hero starring Burt Lancaster and Peter Capaldi, tells the story of an American oil executive who is sent to a remote Scottish village to acquire the village to convert it into a refinery. The film was filmed in Pennan and Banff and the red phonebox is one of the most famous in the world and can still be found in Pennan. Slains Castle - The Crown (2016 - ) & Dracula (1897) No trip to Aberdeenshire would be complete for fans of the Netflix show The Crown without a trip to Slains Castle on the coast of Cruden Bay.

  • Statement of Importance: Dee Valley Special Landscape Area
    Statement of Importance: Dee Valley Special Landscape Area Location and Boundaries This SLA includes the valley of the River Dee from Dinnet in the west to Peterculter in the east. It includes the river and associated landscapes, taking in the adjoining hills, and covers the settings of riverside towns such as Aboyne and Banchory. The boundary has been drawn to include landscapes which help to frame the river and its setting. The River Dee continues east through the administrative area of Aberdeen City to reach the North Sea. Designation identifies the strong identity of the Dee Valley, and its scenic qualities which are a combination of the river, with wooded valley sides rising to moorland hills, and occasional limestone outcrops. The importance of the Dee Valley for tourism, with its numerous visitor attractions and facilities including castles and estates that contribute to built heritage. The naturalness of the Dee Valley, with its river and broadleaf woodland is also recognised. The River Dee from the B974 at Banchory (Source: LUC) Designation Statement The Dee is one of Aberdeenshire’s major rivers, and the Dee Valley has a strong sense of place. It comprises an intact farmed valley landscape, with wooded sides rising to moorland hills. The Mounth rises to the south and the Grampian Outliers to the north. The valley has a strong sense of naturalness, created by the combination of river and broadleaf woodland. The ecological value of the river, its tributaries and its surroundings contributes to the landscape character, as well as being recognised as nationally and internationally important for nature conservation.

Issues General Concern was raised that there is a lack of service capacity within Aboyne in relation to the proposed population increase (109). An impact assessment should be undertaken of the proposed development to assess the effect on general local infrastructure (730, 1054). Concern was raised that there is an oversupply of housing in Aboyne and no need for additional allocations (188, 217, 1043) with one respondent noting that there is an oversupply specifically of housing that is not low cost (12). The MIR for Marr states that there is not a need for further allocations in Aboyne (1043).

At the same time that these changes were happening an interest and desire for community empowerment in the management of rural land was developing. In the more remote rural areas such as Galloway and the north-west Highlands this was seen as a mechanism for rural development and reinvigorating the vitality of communities. One of the earliest examples was driven by local GP, Dr Ian Richardson at Laggan, where the Laggan Forest Initiative was established in 1992. The FAPIRA (Forests and People in Rural Areas) Initiative brought local forest governance to the fore. FAPIRA was an informal partnership established in 1994 between the Forestry Commission, Rural Forum Scotland, development and countryside agencies and WWF.
