History of St Andrews Cottage
St Andrews is a delightful Grade B listed self-catering holiday home.
Dating from 1854, the cottage was originally additional quarters for St
Andrews Manse. In latter years the cottage was home of the church clerk.
The Church of Scotland sold the manse & cottage in the 1980’s.
Since then, occupancy of the cottage has been intermittent, the building falling into a state of disrepair. St Andrews cottage was renovated, with the guidance of Heritage Scotland, between 2003-2005 and now offers a charming mixture of traditional home, with all modern conveniences.
St Andrews Cottage is situated within a quiet, but central location, combining all the benefits of peaceful living, with easy access to a bustling market town.
Inverurie’s primary park (with children’s play area) is just two minutes walk, the River Don, 10 minutes walk, both offer a pleasant and relaxing situation. The cottage also has a secure garden.
Local Area
Inverurie is a prosperous market town with an ancient history. The town
is 17 miles north west of Aberdeen (c.10 miles from Aberdeen airport)
and is situated at the meeting of the Ury and Don rivers.
It is overlooked from the northwest by Bennachie, possibly the most popular hill range of the Grampian mountains (the highest peak, Oxen Craig, is 528m).
The local landscape is varied, encompassing conifer and broadleaf woodland, rolling hills and open moor land. the local coastline, offers equally diverse environments, with wide sandy beaches, tall dune formations and rocky cliffs.
The depth of Inverurie’s heritage is evident in many places within the town and local environments. Among others, these include the town’s Motte, dating from the 1100’s (commonly known as The Bass), the monument to the Battle of Harlaw between the Highlanders and Lowlanders, together with many prehistoric monuments such as the Easter Aquhorthies recumbent stone circle and the Pictish Bandsbutt Stone.
Inverurie also offers a perfect base for visiting the splendors of Upper Donside, Strathdon, Royal Deeside and Cairngorms.
Inverurie is a well-provisioned town with a variety of local shops, restaurants, and a 24-hour supermarket. There is also a local farmers market on the second Saturday of every month. The city of Aberdeen is just 20 minutes away and provides access to all major retail outlets.
