005.12 | A large village on the turnpike road to Kincardine O Neil, 17 miles west of Aberdeen. It contains an Episcopalian and a Dissenting Chapel, one School, three Hotels, a Post Office, and two branch banks. The houses are all substantial buildings, principally slated. It is thus described in the Statistical Account. "The new or Arbeadie village was begun by three individuals in 1805, 1807, and 1809, and contains a Dissenting Chapel, a post office, a prison, two schools, three Inns, and in the immediate vicinity, a branch of the Bank of Scotland." Since the above was written considerable changes have occurred. The dwellings which composed the old village have been almost totally removed to admit of the construction of the Deeside Railway, the Station and workshops of the Company have been erected on its site, and the principal portion of the village now known as Arbeadie has been built. The name is thus applied to the present village. There are ten markets held annually at the Market-Stance here, which is situated about a quarter of a mile east of the Established Church. One of these is still known as St. Ternan's Market. |
