Cuminestown is a small planned village in rural north‑east Aberdeenshire, Scotland, lying amid the rolling arable farmland of the former county of Banffshire. Laid out in the later 18th century in connection with the local Cumine family, the village still shows its planned origins in a compact street pattern and retains traditional stone buildings, a parish church and a modest war memorial that reflect its long local history.
Today Cuminestown is a quiet farming community whose economy is centred on agriculture, with many residents linked socially and commercially to nearby towns such as Turriff and Banff. Community life is maintained through a village hall and local events, and the settlement often appeals to visitors exploring the quieter, historic landscapes of north‑east Scotland.
