Laurencekirk
Laurencekirk is a small town in the historical county of Kincardineshire, Scotland, just off the A90 Dundee to Aberdeen highway, which bypassed it in 1985. It is administered as part of Aberdeenshire. It is the biggest settlement in the Howe o' the Mearns area and houses the neighborhood high school; Mearns Academy, which was granted the Charter Mark in 2003. Its old name was Conveth, an anglification of the Gaelic Coinmheadh, describing a commitment to provide complimentary food as well as board to passing troops. Laurencekirk remains in the valley between capital of Garvock as well as the Cairn O' Mount. The famous site of the Johnston Tower can be seen on the peak of the Garvock. Laurencekirk was, in the past, understood for making snuff boxes with a special sort of closed joint (referred to as a "Laurencekirk hinge") developed by James Sandy. Laurencekirk Golf Club (now defunct) initially showed up in the very early 1900s. The club shut at the time of WW2. Lewis Grassic Gibbon composed much about The Mearns and the bordering area in his publication Sunset Song. A tribute centre can be seen at Arbuthnott a few miles from Laurencekirk. Fred Urquhart dealt with the land at Laurencekirk in the Second World War, and his narratives make use of his monitorings of country life here.
