Old Photograph Farmers Auchnagatt Scotland

Old photograph of farmers outside Auchnagatt, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Auchnagatt village is situated on the Ebrie Burn and on the A948 road between Ellon and New Deer. There is evidence of prehistoric settlement in the area. The remains of two earth houses were found at Windy Hill, south-east of the village, in 1850. More recent history centred on agriculture until the coming of the railway in the 1860s, when sidings and goods sheds were constructed in the village. Nowadays Auchnagatt serves largely as a dormitory village for Aberdeen.
