Scottish Towns-Cities-Aberchirder.

Aberchirder is in Aberdeenshire. Originally called Foggieloan it was a planned village on the Gordon Estates. Today the town is a service centre for the surrounding agricultural area.

In small towns like this one, and similar, this population includes older people, some still in work often in less well paid sectors. It also includes a significant inactive population, some in poorer health. There is a higher proportion of single households and car ownership is lower. What’s this?

Aberchirder is a dependent to interdependent town
