Banchory (Scots: Banchry, from Scottish Gaelic: Beannchar) is a burgh or town in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It is about 18 miles west of Aberdeen, near where the Feugh River meets the River Dee.
The name is thought to be derived from an early Christian settlement founded by St Ternan. It is claimed that Ternan was a follower of St Ninian. Tradition has it that he established his settlement on the banks of the River Dee on what was later to become the kirkyard of the medieval parish of Banchory-Ternan. The village and parish retained the name until the 1970s. The original Gaelic form is almost identical to that of Bangor, of similar meaning, and also the site of a monastery, in Northern Ireland. Relics associated with St. Ternan were preserved by hereditary keepers at Banchory until the Scottish Reformation. Two early Christian cross-slabs survive in or near the old churchyard on the site of the early church. One is built into a corner of the 'mort house' in the churchyard, and shows two crosses incised in a worn pink granite slab. The other is a ringed cross in relief built into the wall facing the main road outside the churchyard.

These are my top five things to do in Aberdeen, Scotland. Aberdeen is the third largest city in Scotland and is found in the North-East of the country. The two things it is most famous are oil and granite. 1) Newburgh Beach - around twenty minutes drive to the North of Aberdeen, Newburgh Beach is a beautiful sandy beach famous for its seal colony, which is found where the River Ythan meets the sea. As well as the seals, Newburgh Beach also has Europes largest sand dune area, and old world war two defences. 2) Dunnotar Castle - to the south of Aberdeen, just outside of Stonehaven, Dunnotar Castle is found on a rocky headland jutting out into the North Sea. It has played a huge role in Scotland's history, particularly during the Jacobite rising of the 18th century. 3) The Old Railway...

Riley Briggs and Kirsten Adamson played a wonderful set of songs when they performed at Woodend Barn, Banchory on Saturday 26th December. Riley's well-known from the band Aberfeldy and Kirsten from the Gillyflowers. They were supporting The Hazey Janes, as part of the Barn's Deliverance campaign (bringing city bands out to rural Scotland).
Stephen Pern drops the latch on his South Coast home and heads for the open hills, or rather for open hill shelters, the hundred or so bothies which are scattered across upland Britain. His mission is to supply each shelter with hanging points for wet clothes and gear, his supply of hooks and screws gradually diminishing over the course of his 3000 mile walk. Funny, perceptive and absolutely genuine, HOOKS might just persuade you that Britain is a great place to live.

I shook your hand
I may have smiled
I was just tryin' to be nice
But you forced your way into my life
And now it's years from then
And you're still hangin' around
With no respect for personal space
You're always right there in my face
Callin' you a stalker is a little harsh
But that's almost what you are
You're always showin' up
When you're not invited
Here is something that I've finally decided
I gotta tell you
You're a punisher
You're unbearable
You are terrible
Punisher
You just torture us
And I have had enough
Punisher
You have got to go
How can you not know
That you drive me crazy
It's amazing how annoying you are
Now here you come again
Makin' yourself at home
But no one even likes you
Can't you get that through your skull
Don't you see the dirty looks
Don't you notice I don't keep in touch
You're pushy
You're pushy
You're pushy
And I've been pushed around too much
I guess you're too crazy to see
The nuisance that you are
But you have reached the end of my toleration
And now it's finally time for a confrontation
I gotta tell you
You're a punisher
You're unbearable
You are terrible
Punisher
You just torture us
And I have had enough
Punisher
You have got to go
How can you not know
That you drive me crazy
It's amazing how annoying you are
Callin' you a stalker is a little harsh
But that's almost what you are
You're always showin' up
When you're not invited
Here is something that we have finally decided
(I gotta tell you)
You're a punisher
You're unbearable
You are terrible
Punisher
You just torture us
And I have had enough
Punisher
You're unbearable
You are terrible
Punisher
You just torture us
And I have had enough
Punisher
You have got to go
How can you not know
That you drive me crazy
It's amazing that it went so far!
Punisher
You're a punisher!
