Crimond is a small village in rural Aberdeenshire, northern Scotland, lying on the open, fertile plains of Buchan not far from the windswept coast of the North Sea. It sits within easy reach of the larger coastal towns of Fraserburgh and Peterhead and functions largely as an agricultural centre for the surrounding farmland.
Despite its modest size, Crimond has cultural notoriety through the hymn tune "Crimond", associated with the local parish church (Crimond Parish Church), and the village maintains a close-knit community feel; the local economy and character are influenced by farming alongside nearby fishing, energy and transport links, including the nearby former airfield (Crimond Airfield), which hints at the area’s varied historic uses.
