Summary edit
| Description |
English: Gardenstown, Aberdeenshire. A quiet place, Gardenstown's name is misleading for in reality this settlement is no bigger than a village.
Fondly known as Gamrie, Gardenstown owes its name to Alexander Garden who founded the village in 1720. Situated in a horseshoe shaped bay, Gardenstown was specifically chosen as the setting for a fishing village. However, less than 200 years after its development, the fishing industry had changed with a greater number of larger vessels that could safely travel longer distances. Nevertheless, the harbour which now sees more traffic from pleasure vessels than fishing boats is a relaxing place to stroll about. The houses built in Gardenstown were constructed with their gable end toward the sea to provide the maximum protection from salty spray. Gardenstown also lies in a Site of Specific Scientific Interest which is noted for its various wildlife which includes various sea bird colonies, dolphins and whales. |
