Aberdeen County
Aberdeenshire was a county in the north east
of Scotland. The county also included the burghs of Aberdeen, Ballater,
Ellon, Fraserburgh, Huntly, Inverurie, Kintore, Old Aberdeen, Old
Meldrum, Peterhead, Rosehearty, Turriff, and Woodside. Aberdeen
County Council was established by the Local Government (Scotland)
Act, 1889, taking over powers from the Commissioners of Supply,
County Road Trust, and other local authorities. The town of Aberdeen
(including Old Aberdeen and Woodside) became a county of a city
in 1900. The County Council was abolished in 1975 by the Local Government
(Scotland) Act, 1973, and the former county was divided between
the District Councils of Gordon, Banff and Buchan, Kincardine and
Deeside and the City of Aberdeen; all within Grampian Region. The
area which constituted the former county is administered by the
present Aberdeenshire Council, which was formed in 1995, and covers
a larger area than the pre-1975 Aberdeenshire. The parishes of Peterculter,
Dyce, Newhills and the Bridge of Don area of Old Machar parish were
incorporated into the City of Aberdeen District in 1974 and thence
into Aberdeen City Council in 1995.
