Tarves is a small rural village in Aberdeenshire, north‑east Scotland, set among rolling farmland and granite-built cottages. It sits within reasonable commuting distance of Aberdeen but retains a distinctly agricultural feel, with local small businesses, farms and craftsmen shaping the local economy.
The village has a long local history with older buildings clustered around the parish church, and community life centres on the village hall, primary school and the village pub. Its quiet lanes, nearby open countryside and surrounding historic sites make it popular with walkers and those looking for a strong village community and a slower pace of life.
