Scope and Content Written on the back of the mounted print: ‘Shire: Aberdeenshire. Place: Mintlaw. Building: Aden Stables’. Photographer: ‘C.H.C’ Date: ‘June 1963’ West wing, Round Square, Aden House, Aberdeenshire From the 1750s to 1937 the Russell family built up the estate of Aden to a 4,000 hectare mix of private policies, farmland and woodland. Since 1980, 92 hectares of the estate has been managed by the local council as a country park and the stables, which date from 1800, have been renovated and turned into a museum of agriculture. This is the west wing of the round square viewed from the south-west. The two-storeyed, curved block is built of harled rubble like the rest of the complex. To the right there are six segmentally-arched cart sheds underneath the central tower. Hareshowe Farm was moved to the country park in 1990-1 from near New Deer so as to preserve a piece of mid-20th-century, north-east agricultural heritage. The farm is worked by guides and there are costumed guides at the museum who give demonstrations. There is also a sensory garden for disabled people. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
