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.

Main Street, Aberchirder
The shop on the immediate left is a pharmacy, newsagent and post office. Aberchirder was founded in 1764 by Alexander Gordon, Laird of Auchintoul, as a planned town on a grid pattern. He named it Aberchirder, but locals still use the old name Foggieloan, or just Foggie. See http://www.foggieloan.co.uk/43foundation/foundation.htm for more details of the history.

St Marnan's Episcopal Church, Aberchirder
Dating from ca. 1826 and the first church in the village (B-listed: http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB19922 ). At this time the established church was still about 3 km to the southwest at Marnoch. Despite lying on the highest site in the village, it is now a rather dank and dismal location due to excessive tree growth. St Marnan is believed to have been a missionary active in northern Britain in the 7th Century and reputedly died in the vicinity of Aberchirder.
