| BUCHANNESS COTTAGE | Buchanness Cottage | Mr. Russell Proprietor Mr. J. Stephen Boddam |
032 | Extract from the Rev. [Reverend] John B. Pratts Buchan. p.p. 52 & 53. On the opposite side of the gorge and immediately over the Sea, stands Lord Aberdeen's Marine Village. (It is now the property of Mr. Russell of Aden near Old Deer) commanding a remarkably wild and striking prospect. Everything has been done to render this a charming Summer retreat. Walks have been cut along the face of the braes leading to the best points of view; and a marine garden, laid out with much taste, in the sloping hollow of a sheltered glen, extends down to the very edge of the Sea. In conveying water to the villa from a fine Spring on the north-eastern ledge of the Sterling Hill, some pipes were discovered which must formerly have been used for the purpose of supplying the Old Castle from the same Spring. |

Aberdeenshire Parish of Peterhead
[continued from previous page] * of the principal entrance, surmounted by a low gable. One or two other arches, of smaller dimensions, are also to be seen, and the entire foundations of the building may yet be traced; but, unless as a type of the family which once occupied it - gone, but still lingering in the memories of the past, - it possesses nothing worthy of notice. The ruin is carefully preserved with that taste and feeling for which the Earl of Aberdeen has always been distinguished. Another trape-dyke in this ravine, and the hornstone porphyry and protogene rocks behind the neighbouring lighthouse, are well worthy of observation.
"Boddam castle was the residence of a branch of the Marischal family; but it is not so ancient as Ravenscraig Castle." Statistical Account P. 354
