Laurencekirk
Laurencekirk is a town in the historical region of Kincardineshire, Scotland, simply off the A90 Dundee to Aberdeen highway, which bypassed it in 1985. It is administered as part of Aberdeenshire. It is the largest negotiation in the Howe o' the Mearns location as well as houses the local high school; Mearns Academy, which was awarded the Charter Mark in 2003. Its old name was Conveth, an anglification of the Gaelic Coinmheadh, referring to a responsibility to provide totally free food and board to passing troops. Laurencekirk remains in the valley between the Hill of Garvock as well as the Cairn O' Mount. The well-known site of the Johnston Tower can be seen on the top of the Garvock. Laurencekirk was, in the past, recognized for making snuff boxes with a special kind of closed joint (called a "Laurencekirk hinge") developed by James Sandy. Laurencekirk Golf Club (currently defunct) first appeared in the very early 1900s. The club shut at the time of WW2. Lewis Grassic Gibbon wrote much about The Mearns and also the surrounding location in his publication Sunset Song. A homage centre can be seen at Arbuthnott a couple of miles from Laurencekirk. Fred Urquhart serviced the land at Laurencekirk in the 2nd World War, and his short stories use his observations of country life below.
