Old Photographs Alford Aberdeenshire Scotland
Tour Scotland wee video of photographs of Alford, Scottish Gaelic: Athfort, a large village in Aberdeenshire. Situated just south of the River Don. It lies within the Howe of Alford, also called the Vale of Alford. Charles Murray was born on 27 September 1864 in Alford. He was a poet who wrote in the Doric dialect of Scots. He was one of three rural poets from the north east of Scotland, the others being Flora Garry and John C. Milne, who did much to validate the literary use of Scots. In 1924 he settled in Banchory, not far from where he was brought up. There he died in 1941. The narrow gauge railway, built from salvaged equipment from the New Pitsligo peat moss railway, was proposed in 1979 and opened in 1980. Originally it ran for 1.9 miles from Haughton Park station through Murray Park Woods. Then in 1984 another line was run from Alford station, alongside Alford Golf Course, to Haughton Park where there is a platform. However, the original Murray Woods line was then closed. The current station building is on the site of the original granite structure which was demolished after British Rail closed the line. The passenger platform is the original. A small railway museum is housed in the railway station building. The original locomotive shed was situated to the east of the station but this has also now been demolished. To the west of the station the granite carriage shed of the previous railway is now used by the Alford Valley Railway. The Grampian Transport Museum and Alford Heritage Centre are nearby. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.

Grampian Transport depot........was.
Boring video but thoughts go back to when the original garage was here. The sheds that were here transported up from somewhere in England after the war and used to house the Royal Air Force Spitfire aircraft.
Amazing Aberdeenshire | Next Stop Everywhere
As we enter Aberdeenshire, on the road to Aberdeen itself, we were in for a bit of a treat.
First up we arrived in the Scottish seaside town of Banff (not the famous Canadian Banff you understand!) where we hopped on our bikes and took in the sights and sounds of the Macduff Marine Aquarium and the famed Tarlair Open Air Swimming Pool (the latter now sadly abandoned).
Onwards and in-land-wards, we head to the Grampian Transport Museum, where we admired their stunning collection, and stayed overnight in a very unique motorsport-themed location!
As we head back to the coast, we stopped off for a few days in the fishing port town of Fraserburgh, a rustic kinda place, but with a great caravan park and the fantastic Museum of Scottish Lighthouses, which surprised us with its facts and stories of the Northern Lighthouse Board.
Finally, before we arrive in Aberdeen, we visit another Scottish open air pool, this time one we could actually swim in though! Stonehaven pool is open throughout the summer and we made the most of a dip in its heated seawater depths - lovely!
Enjoy, and join us for our Next Stop... Everywhere!

Aberdeen - Alford - Ellon - Aberdeen Part 1
Just a small trip around a part of the North East as the weather was good. Not a lot going on during the journey but using this as an opportunity to test out different things to do with the camera and to see what I will need on the longer trip I will be taking next month.
Any CONSTRUCTIVE comments are welcome. I'd like to make my trips as interesting as I can for people to watch.
Enjoy and part 2 to follow soon.
Warning: Some swearing.
