Alford
Alford is a huge town in Aberdeenshire, north-east Scotland, existing just south of the River Don. It lies within the Howe of Alford (additionally called the Vale of Alford) which inhabits the center reaches of the River Don. The place-name is believed to originate from the Scots auld ford; its initial setting being on the banks of the Don. The "L" audio in the word has, gradually, been dropped, and also is silent. Additionally, the name could be a tautology; a combination of ath and ford, both indicating 'ford' in Gaelic and Scots specifically. Alford offered its name to a fight of the Battle of Alford (1645 ). It is likewise the home of the Aberdeen Angus cattle reproduce, which is commemorated by a life-sized model of a bull on the edge of the town, which the Queen Mother inaugurated in 2001. It is thought that the original breeding place of the cattle was Buffal, located in between Hard (Tulloch) and Craigievar close-by Alford. One more claim to fame for the town is Alford Oatmeal, ground at Montgarrie, just outside the town. Alford also sports the Alford Community School, with a library and also pool. The Alford Valley Railway, Grampian Transport Museum, Alford Heritage Museum as well as Craigievar Castle are preferred visitor destinations, with a variety of other archaeological sites, stone circles, as well as castles (including Balfluig Castle, Castle Fraser and also Drum Castle) being within easy reach by road. One stone circle, originally believed to be primitive, became a 20-year-old replica. Located in Alford, Haughton Country Park is a huge as well as prominent eco-friendly area with a campers park as well as timberland strolls. The 18 hole Alford Golf Club is an attractive as well as pleasant course which has a large neighborhood membership.
