Chapelton in Aberdeenshire, Scotland is a deliberately planned new town rising on the agricultural ground of the Elsick Estate along the A92 corridor south of Aberdeen and close to Stonehaven. Set in rolling countryside with views toward the North Sea, it’s often noticed for its layout of compact neighbourhoods, green spaces and a small central square rather than the ribbon development that characterises much of the area.
Developed in the 21st century, Chapelton aims to blend traditional Scottish village character with modern design codes: a mix of housing types, local shops, workspace and parks intended to foster community life. Economically it provides local services and homes for commuters working in Aberdeen’s energy and service sectors, while socially it has attracted families and community groups keen on the walkable streets, shared greens and events that help it feel like a village rather than just a housing estate.
