    THE PINNING STONES Culture and Community in Aberdeenshire

    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.

The geophysical surveys included a substantial gradiometer and a smaller resistivity survey that aimed to characterise and explore the extent and survival of archaeology around the Craw Stane Pictish symbol stone (NJ42NE 35) and two other symbol stone findspots. The results showed several discrete anomalies; one of these was targeted by a small-scale excavation and proved to be a burnt Middle Bronze Age timber structure.

The Scottish Iron Age provides rich data of international quality to link into broader, European-wide research questions, such as that from wetlands and the well-preserved and deeply-stratified settlement sites of the Atlantic zone, from crannog sites and from burnt-down buildings. The nature of domestic architecture, the movement of people and resources, the spread of ideas and the impact of Rome are examples of topics that can be explored using Scottish evidence. The period is therefore important for understanding later prehistoric society, both in Scotland and across Europe. There is a long tradition of research on which to build, stretching back to antiquarian work, which represents a considerable archival resource.

    Working to protect and defend Bennachie and its surrounding area from the A96 dual carriageway www.savebennachie.com As you will be aware, the A96 Inverness-Aberdeen will be upgraded/re-routed to dual carriageway status by 2030. Two of the route opBons under consideraBon around Inverurie will impact Bennachie and its surrounding areas. Please refer to the aFached map to see the current route opBons being considered for the eastern secBon. Design consultants, Amey Arup Joint Venture have recently been appointed for a 20 year, £50 million contract covering the design and delivery of the Eastern SecBon-Huntly-Aberdeen. These consultants will come up with their preferred route opBons within 2 years of the contract award. The final decision on the actual route will be made by the Cabinet Secretary for Economy Jobs and Fair Work, and the Minister for Transport. This means that the next 2 years will see the route of the new A96 in the Garioch decided. Once the consultants have arrived at their preferred route choice it will be nigh on impossible to alter it. That’s why it is so important to act now, to raise public awareness of the very real threat to an unspoiled Bennachie. The groundswell of public opinion backing the campaign has been overwhelming. Through the Save Bennachie Alliance, over 811 individual members are joining forces with local and naBonal organisaBons including the Bailies of Bennachie, Oyne Community AssociaBon, Kemnay, Kintore, Cluny, Midmar and Monymusk Community Councils, Mountaineering Scotland, North East Mountain Trust, Cosmic Hillbashers, Cairngorm Club, Ramblers Scotland, Woodland Trust, Aberdeenshire Environmental Forum and the Inverurie Business AssociaBon, with others currently considering joining.

    Late Prehistoric Settlement, Berryhill, Aberdeenshire

    Proc Soc Antiq Scot, 132 (2002), 213–227 Late prehistoric settlement, Berryhill, Aberdeenshire Hilary Murray* with a contribution by A Saville ABSTRACT Excavation in 1999 and 2000 on Berryhill, Aberdeenshire revealed activity on the site from the Neolithic to the 20th century. The earliest use of the site in the late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age is only represented by a scatter of flint and two small hearths. Later, possibly in the first century ,a stone walled enclosure was built around the top of the hill. A stone hut circle outwith the enclosure may be contemporary with it but two rectangular structures on the top of the hill are probably later. The complexity of successive uses of the hill suggests caution in the interpretation of similar, superficially simple, small enclosed sites. INTRODUCTION Aberdeenshire Council for development as an archaeological visitor centre.

    Highland Place Names from West Aberdeenshire, Scotland Lillia De Vaux, Crampette Herault (Rebecca S

    Highland Place Names from West Aberdeenshire, Scotland Lillia de Vaux, Crampette Herault (Rebecca S. Johnson, 2019) Introduction This article consists of mostly Scots or Latinized Scots names compiled from Place Names from West Aberdeenshire [19]. This article includes Highland place names primarily dated to the 12th-17th centuries, with a few earlier forms. The names show influences from the underlying Gaelic, Pictish, English, or Latin. Place Names from West Aberdeenshire was written by James MacDonald and edited and published posthumously in 1899 by the New Spalding Club (an antiquarian society dedicated to the publication of texts concerning the history of Aberdeenshire). MacDonald relied heavily on 19th century transcriptions of charters and other sources rather than the primary sources. Thankfully, many of his sources are available online and do not appear to include obviously normalized spellings, except where noted in the comments. The place names are listed first by MacDonald's modern header forms, which include some editorial accents for pronunciation aids. Only places dated up to 1650 are listed below. In a few cases, an exact date was not given by MacDonald. If anything was not dated, or the text was unclear, the spellings and dates were verified using his or other sources when possible. If a date could not be determined, only forms using period spelling conventions and/or implied by the text to be period forms are included; these are marked as "not dated" in the raw data below. In several cases, MacDonald noted that a date was recorded using a 16th century hand. These have been dated as "16th C".
