IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Elphin Street, FRASERBURGH, AB43 6LH

Built ca. 1892 with clocktower added later.

Though just as difficult to photograph as seven years ago (see Image]) this does possibly give a slightly better view of it. Late Victorian, it was opened by the Earl of Aberdeen in 1892 and extended later.

The outside of the bus shelter in New Aberdour has panels explaining the significance of the unicorn and the thistle in Scottish folklore and history.

I know they are essential amenities, but the siting and design of these are utterly insensitive. Why could the toilets not have been built on the other side of the street, where they would not have intruded so grossly between the parish kirk and the village hall? Or, if absolutely they had to go here, could they not have been built in a style more sympathetic to the neighbouring buildings? The bus stop, on its own, isn't quite so ugly. Edit: The bus stop has been decorated since I took this shot. See Image

This severe granite building is all but impossible to photograph well, thanks to the quite extraordinarily insensitive siting of the public toilets, an ugly concrete box, right by the road between the kirk and the hall. A corner of the toilet block intrudes at lower right in this image, and the blue plastic skip does nothing to enhance the view either.

It looks a bit smarter than when Anne Burgess photographed it four years previously: https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5259244 .

This building dates from 1818, and was built here to serve the new village created by William Gordon in 1798. It is attibuted to Aberdeen architect John Smith (1781-1852). Like its now ruined predecessor it is dedicated to St Drostan. The little porch at this end bears the date 1885.

Like the old kirk down near the shore that it replaced, the New Aberdour Parish Kirk is dedicated to St Drostan. It was build in 1818 and renovated in 1885. See https://portal.historicenvironment.scot/apex/f?p=1505:300:::::VIEWTYPE,VIEWREF:designation,LB2772 for more information. We happened on it after several unsuccessful attempts elsewhere to find a cup of coffee, and were delighted to find that there was actually a coffee morning in progress, to which we were made very welcome. Sadly, the kirk is now surplus to ecclesiastical requirements, and its future is uncertain.

...of the High Street and Elphin Street (the B9031), New Aberdour. It was once at the centre of the village market.
