Gourdon Community Action Plan November 2017 Gourdon Community Action Plan November 2017 Introduction Community Action Plan Gourdon is a coastal fishing village in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. South of Inverbervie and North of Johnshaven, with a natural harbour. It has a growing population of 830. The village of Gourdon lies behind the harbour and rises in terraces up the hillside towards the line of the A92, which bypasses the village as it makes its way North into Inverbervie. Its original harbour, built in 1820, was restricted with space for only 8 boats. In 1958, the east breakwater was built followed by the west breakwater built in 1970. Gourdon now has a double harbour extending to 7200 square metres and offers 330 metres of quay space. The main section is totally given over to fishing and the original, or “Gutty Harbour”, is used by pleasure craft. There is still a small fleet of trawlers operating from the port and over 20 boats have regular moorings there. Harbour services are extensive, including diesel fuel, water and electricity and a marine engineering firm. Gourdon is a South facing harbour with a sheltered inner basin protected by a storm gate. The entrance to the Gutty Harbour is rocky and can be difficult to navigate, but the main harbour entrance is more accessible. Halfway up the hill there is a small lighthouse or “Leading Light”. Visitors can buy fish from the filleting sheds by the Harbour. There are attractive coastal walks in both directions from the town. 2 Introduction Community Action Plan This is the Community Action Plan for All the ideas in this booklet came from the Coastal fishing Village of Gourdon. the community.

The four community councils that were eligible for community funds from the wind farm at Auquhirie were Arbuthnot CC, CKDCC, Mearns CC and Stonehaven CC. CKDCC supported the nomination of Katrina Carr as a candidate for one of the Aberdeenshire Sports awards. Police Report PC Irvine from Stonehaven informed the CC that since 26th January there had been over 200 reported incidents in the Stonehaven beat area, but none of these had occurred in the CKDCC area until two break-ins at Roadside of Catterline and at Mill of Barras earlier in the day. In the latter break-in access had been gained through a kitchen window in broad daylight. Most of these crimes were opportunistic; gangs from Aberdeen coming to smaller communities and hoping to find unlocked doors. There had been a considerable number of road traffic accidents in and around Stonehaven, the majority the result of winter weather and driver error.
