Auntie's Shop
My family ame from Inverurie but I would be 16 before I visited. Aunt Jeannie lived at Chapel Cottage, North Street and was the chiropodist. Great Aunt Magde also lived there, she owned Reid's boot and shoemakers in Market Place, this had belonged to my grandfather.
Having been brought up in West Yorkshire and all the mills, arriving in Inveruie was a breath of fresh air to me. I would walk from Market Place to Chapel Cottage and feel the fresh air and smell it. The shoe shop had its own smell, lovely leather, then walking outside and the baker's shop smell....
Oh, I would love to visit that lovely place again and find my second cousin Margaret Ewen Jim, her father was the local postie.

Hillhead of Kintore
My grandparents owned the croft Hillhead of Kintore, my grandfather James Kerr Argo was the manager of Kemnay quarries and rode the old road to Kemnay each day to work. I have many childhood memories of staying there.They had a well in the garden, my grandma kept hens and bees and had a herb garden and knew all the herbal cures. One Argo aunt taught at Kemnay School, the other at Woodside, Aberdeen, both sons were bank managers although the youngest (Alexander) was killed aged 18 in the First World War. As children we played in the woods at the back of the house and there was a sweety shop we used to walk to.
