Tomintoul is one of the planned villages which were founded in Scotland between 1750 and 1850. In this case it was founded by the Duke of Gordon who wanted to promote weaving and laid out the village in a long street along the ridge, with a central square and lanes at right angles connecting with back streets parallel with the main street.
