Aboyne
Aboyne (, (スコットランド・ゲール語:Abèidh)) is a village on the edge of the Highlands in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, on the River Dee, approximately west of Aberdeen. It has a rugby club, which plays on The Green and also has a swimming pool, a golf course with 18 holes, all-weather tennis courts, and a bowling green. Aboyne Castle and the Loch of Aboyne are nearby.
Aboyne has many businesses, including a supermarket (Co-op),〔(Aboyne location map )〕 two banks, several hairdressers, a butcher, a newsagent, an Indian restaurant and a post office. Originally, there was a railway station in the village, but it was closed on 18 June 1966. The station now contains some shops and the tunnel running under the village is now home to a firearms club. The market-day in Aboyne was known as ''Fèill Mhìcheil'' (Scottish Gaelic for "Michael's Fair").
==History==
The locale was inhabited since very early times with the west wing of Aboyne Castle dated to 1671 AD.〔John Mackintosh, (''History of the Valley of the Dee, from the Earliest Times to the Present Day'' )〕 The siting of the castle itself is related to the limited number of the crossings of the Mounth of the Grampian Mountains to the south.〔 (C. Michael Hogan, ''Elsick Mounth'', Megalithic Portal, ed A. Burnham, 2007 )〕
In 1715 Aboyne was the scene of a tinchal, or great hunt, organised by John Erskine, sixth Earl of Mar, on 3 September, as a cover for the gathering of Jacobite nobles and lairds to discuss a planned Jacobite uprising. The uprising began three days later in Braemar.〔 J.Baynes, ''The Jacobite Rising of 1715'' (1970), pp. 35-36 〕
