Auchenblae is a small village in rural Aberdeenshire, Scotland, traditionally part of Kincardineshire. Tucked into a wooded glen, it grew up around local mills and farming, and still displays sturdy stone cottages, a historic kirk and the traces of older chapel sites that hint at a long local history.
Today the village has a close-knit community with village hall activities, local shops and events, and an economy centred on agriculture, small businesses and tourism. Its wooded lanes and surrounding farmland make it popular with walkers and visitors who combine a trip to the coast or to nearby Royal Deeside with a stop to enjoy the village’s quiet character and heritage.
