Aberchirder is a small planned village in rural north‑east Aberdeenshire, Scotland, set among rolling farmland close to the course of the River Deveron. Laid out in the mid‑18th century and historically known as Foggieloan, it retains a regular street pattern and a compact village square that reflect its planned origins.
Today the village acts as a local centre for surrounding agricultural communities, with a mix of local services, traditional stone buildings and an active community life that stages local events and clubs; its history and simple built form make it a good example of an 18th‑century planned rural settlement in what was historically part of Banffshire.
