SM4263 Lang Stane Standing Stone Hilton Drive Aberdeen A short guide to Scheduled Monuments in Aberdeen City June 2018 www.aberdeencity.gov.uk/masterplanning INTRODUCTION The text is an short version of that provided on the Historic Environment Scotland web-site: www.historicenvironment.scot It is a criminal offence to demolish, remove or deface a Scheduled Monument. For further information concerning Scheduled Monuments please contact Historic Environment Scotland at the above web address. ACCESS The sites may not be suitable for access by people with mobility difficulties. It should also be noted that most of these sites may not be readily accessible to the public. The Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003 introduced new rights and responsibilities for the public and for land managers in terms of outdoor access. This means that as long as behaviour is responsible, i.e. respecting the interests of other people, caring for the environment and taking responsibility for your own actions, you can enjoy access to almost all land and inland water. Guidance on where these rights apply and exactly what is meant by ‘responsible behaviour’, for both access takers and land managers, is provided in the Scottish Outdoor Access Code: www.outdooraccess-scotland.com FURTHER INFORMATION This publication was produced by: Masterplanning, Design and Conservation Team Planning and Sustainable Development Communities, Housing and Infrastructure Aberdeen City Council Business Hub 4 Ground Floor North Marischal College Broad Street Aberdeen SM8438 AB10 1AB Aberdeenshire Canal Milestone 9 Dyce Parish Church Telephone: 03000 200 292 Victoria Street E-mail: [email protected] Dyce l Page 2 Scheduled Monuments in Aberdeen City l www.aberdeencity.gov.uk/masterplanning SM Name Type Description Web X Y Ref.

    Tullos Hill Archaeology

    A Guide to the History, Archaeology and Natural History of Tullos Hill Archaeology Tullos Hill, along with adjacent Kincorth Hill, together form part of the very lowest coastal fringe of the Grampian Mountains – hence the cherished local name ‘the Gramps’. Not only are the two hills alike in character, being higher, wilder, more ‘natural’ landscapes in the midst of conurbation, but they also share a great deal in terms of archaeology and early history. Their more recent histories diverge, however, with Kincorth Hill being heavily exploited by quarrying and encroached upon by housing developments, while Tullos Hill, having first supported a Second World War Anti- Aircraft Battery and Prisoner of War Camp, was then affected by industrial sprawl and Excavation at Bronze Age ring cairn, 2010 © CFA Archaeology Ltd landfill operations.

    TORRY STRATEGIC ASSESSMENT 2016 October 2016 V3.5

    TORRY STRATEGIC ASSESSMENT 2016 October 2016 V3.5 An analysis of the demand for public services within the Torry neighbourhood. This document considers past and current trends, emerging issues, challenges and opportunities that will impact on public services delivery. 1. Introduction This Strategic Assessment has been produced on behalf of Community Planning Aberdeen and aims to be a comprehensive analysis of the demand, supply and delivery of services in the Torry neighbourhood. The Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015 places Community Planning Partnerships (CPPs) on a statutory footing and imposes duties on them around the planning and delivery of local outcomes, and the involvement of community bodies at all stages of community planning. Tackling inequalities will be a specific focus, and CPPs have to produce “locality plans” at a more local level for areas experiencing particular disadvantage. In June 2016 Community Planning Aberdeen endorsed a proposal to develop plans for three localities: Locality A (pop. Locality B (pop. Locality C (pop. Approx. 10,500) Approx. 20,500) Approx. 15,000) Torry Middlefield Seaton Mastrick Tillydrone Cummings Park Woodside Northfield Heathryfold The Strategic Assessment looks at past and current trends across a wide range of community planning themes. It considers previous community consultations, emerging issues and future trends and seeks to identify, assess and thereafter allow the Community Planning Partnership to undertake evidence-based prioritisation and planning within the Torry locality. The strategic assessment has been structured around the Economy, People, and Place themes to retain consistency with the Local Outcome Improvement Plan and to ensure that there are clear links between the strategic vision and priorities for the city and those of individual communities.
