PeterCulter Heritage Centre

Today saw us visit on the second day of the summer opening of the PeterCulter Heritage Centre. The center opens during the summer months from 2 to 4pm on Saturdays and Sundays. Well worth a visit if you are local to PeterCulter or live in the Aberdeen Area. And want to know more of the History of Culter, Cutlers involvement in the 1st Word War, Culter Mills, Culter House and much more. The center is located in the old Parish Church by the old Railway station.

So this shot is of the Rob Roy that I mentioned in my Blip of 11th February 2014.

“The new statue was carved by Arnold Smith. Rob Roy, the fourth to stand on the site, was unveiled on Friday 28 June 1991 by Mrs Catherine Findlay and it was followed by a Grand Ceilidh hosted by Norco. The previous Rob Roy (the third version) was put up for sale on Saturday 2nd February 2002 the locals of Culter raised funds to purchase back the statue (they had rashly entrusted it to a local hotel) at public auction for £7,600 plus commission, it can now be visited at the Heritage Centre in PeterCulter.”

So this is the one - £7,600 worth.
