Aberdeenshire which area dwindling feature of the countryside as many have been converted and modernised as the oil industry demand for housing had expanded well beyond the main commuting areas. A few ruined stone ones remain most with missing roofs and used for little else than a sheep pen in wintry weather and along the Cabrach are the remains of a once thriving community long since cleared as agriculture has become more mechanised and crofting uneconomic.
