Restored mercat cross, Woodhead
Woodhead is now a sleepy commuter/retirement village but in the 17th Century was a burgh of barony (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burgh_of_barony ) and the centre of rural life in the area with a market and a tolbooth. The restored mercat cross (dated 1846) recalls its former importance although it's not clear how much is original.

All Saints Episcopal Church, Woodhead
Built 1848 with the spire added in 1870 and B-listed (LB9624): http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB9624 . The 'blue rag' masonry with red sandstone dressings is utterly different to typical Aberdeenshire granite.
