The stuff on this site is worryingly accurate, although I will say that Culter has changed a lot in recent years as posh houses were built and more middle class moved in, seeing it as a cheaper way to get their kids into Cults than buying there or in Milltimber.

Knowhere: Peterculter, Aberdeenshire, Inside Information, Hookup Spots and Stuff Only Locals Know

ha, i've seen knowhere already. though most of the stuff on there seems to be written by bitter kids(judging by the stonehaven stuff anyway).

It is a very good Chinese as well. Culter Juniors made it to the 3rd round of this years Scottish Cup i think. Crombie Park is a fortress.

Ah yeah, the name escapes me at the moment. Alas, i have never been so i couldn't tell you. Nice walks along the River Dee down by the old railway line if that is your thing.

If you invite us, we will come.

Our guitarist lives in Peterculter. You can usually see him in his pram when his Mum takes him out most days.

The curry house is called... The Culter Curry House. And very good it is too.

Culter's a nice place, I'd be happy living there (again).

But I'd say your concerns about people not coming out are justified, it's just what happens when you move out of town.

A taxi back from town will set you back somewhere between the range of 12-18 pounds i think. I drive so i'm not sure exactly.

There is a fairly substantial Spar not far from the Bush, with an Alldays next to it. There is a bakery opposite the village hall on the main road, absolute winner. Barbers, kilt shop, chippie, chinese, curry house, salon, 3 main pubs.

I would avoid Johnstone Gardens personally. A lot of families are brought up in Culter, so you do get ned kids going about, but you get this everywhere to be honest.

Im moving back up tomorrow for roughly 4 months. Ill go take some snaps down at the railway line if i can get a nice day. I think you will be pretty impressed. Some very good photograph locations which i think will be right up your street.
