    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. This gave rubble walls distinctively varied appearances across the country depend- ing upon what local practices and materials were used.

CASTLES OF DEESIDE No tartan-and-bagpipe tourist brigades or lurking lakeside monsters­ just Scotland's most remarkable homes BY LINDSY VAN GELDER PHOTOGRAPHS BY CEDUsnQf.HERSYKES Adifficult climb up II sheer crag will lead you Lo the magnili' nt ruins of Dunnottar Castle. a fourteenth­ century fortres: south of Aberdeen. nless they're in the oil business, most Americans never get near Aberdeen, Scot­ land's third largest city. Few of us have traveled the surrounding countryside, a wedge of land carved by the rivers Don and Dee, which form a sideways V to the north and south of the city. The region has none of the haggis-ancl-bagpipe tour­ ist trappings of the Northern Highlands, no peekaboo prehistoric monsters in its lochs, and not even much claim to the greatest pages of Scottish history. But what it does have-aside from an unspoiJ ed natural beauty all its own-is a remarkable concentra­ ti on of castl es, many in the baronial style unique to Scotland. In fa ct, so many are clustered near the banks of the Dee that the area is known as the Royal Deeside. Even on a misty day, the hills and fields of the Deeside and Donside are a brilliant green, like The Wizard of Oz's Emeralcl City. Other colors do dot the landscape-gold broom growing wild along the roads ide, gray granite cottages, black and white cows and sheep- but they only make the gl·een look greener. It would be dazzling if it weren't also so sleepy.
