Dating from ca. 1890, it became redundant as soon as 1900 when the UPs and the Frees merged. It was later a petrol station and then fell into dereliction, but it now (July 2017) being renovated, presumably as housing.

Aberchirder - Rainy Foggie
"When Alexander Gordon, the laird of Auchintoul, decided in 1764 to found a planned village he selected a spot at the south end of Auchintoul Moss. Here there was a fermtoun called Foggieloan (from two Gaelic words foidh (peat moss) and lòn (meadow), so Foggieloan means peaty or boggy meadow), so he gave his village the same name".

The auld bank, Aberchirder
The North of Scotland bank with agent's house next door opened in 1838 and is B-listed: http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB19913 . It went through various name changes and became the Clydesdale around 1963. More recently, Clydesdale have been especially ruthless in closing rural branches in Scotland and villagers now have to travel to Banff (12 km) or Huntly (15 km) to conduct business.
