Village butcher and post office, Stuartfield
The tiny shop accommodates the unusual combination of the butchers and village post office as well as a bakery and deli. The OS map suggests that the post office was once on the opposite side of the road.

The Square, Stuartfield.
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.

The Square, Stuartfield
Stuartfield is an improvement village dating from ca. 1772 with the streets laid out on a grid pattern and centred on The Square, seen here. Note the Millennium bell (https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1198703 ) to the right of the crossroads: interestingly a 'bell pole' is shown on the same spot on the 1900 25-inch OS map of Stuartfield. There is a Canmore listing for the village (120125: https://canmore.org.uk/site/120125/stuartfield ) but no details are given.

Millennium bell, Stuartfield
A striking edifice erected for the millennium to take the place of a similar structure that once summoned villagers to their employment at the mills at the south and north ends of the village and was dismantled around 1900. The present bell comes from the former free church, which was demolished in the 1970s, allowing village history to live on in a very effective way.
