Local character’ is thus no mere accidental old-world quaintness, as its mimics think and say.
Patrick GeddesTo discover those specifics of our place, Aberdeenshire Council and Deveron Projects embarked on an exploration with artists The Caravan Gallery and Jacques Coetzer, who visited all the neuks and crannies of our Shire through a 6 week long road trip in 2013.
The Caravan Gallery and Jacques Coetzer started in Ballater, the birthplace of visionary botanist-turned-urban planner, Patrick Geddes (1854-1932) who advised us to "think globally and act locally". By foot and road, under his influence, they visited cove towns and fishing ports, commuter places and market towns, gathering up the colours of the land, the global and local heroes on the way.
Aberdeenshire Ways was a project exploring the identity and uniqueness of the region through its people, colour and ways of life.
