This Buchan village is still locally known as "Crichie", its former name. The street pattern is grid iron, centred on its central square. The sign above carries the native Doric heading, "Fit's Happening Aroon' Crichie". The half barrel could have formerly been used locally in a bonded whisky warehouse.
