The History of Cove
Have a look at the history of the Community of Cove from the 18th century to the current day by Douglas W Gray.
An excerpt from Cove Bay – A History by Douglas W Gray, Published in 2008
The bustling community is far removed from a sleepy fishing village in the 1790’s of less than 300 souls more…
2021
Things have moved on apace from 2008 and many more homes and shops have been built in the Charleston area of our community. Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route ((A90), which opened in February 2019, is on our doorstep, bypasses the City of Aberdeen, and allows easy, faster, access to other destinations north, south and west.
Cove and Altens Heritage Cairns
A legacy left to Cove and Altens Community Council by the late Margaret Allan, formerly of Mains of Loirston farm and latterly Sergeant’s Croft, was used to build five heritage information cairns around the community. Mains of Loirston farm and farmhouse were demolished in 2016. Homes and a community now exist in its fields. The cairns look at what has gone before…
Doonies Farm
Doonies Farm website – www.dooniesfarm.co.uk
Doonies Farm sits on the cliff tops between Aberdeen Lighthouse and the village of Cove. The farm is home to some of Britain’s rarest breeds of cattle, sheep, horses, pigs, goats and poultry. It is a working farm that is managed using mainly traditional farming methods to encourage local wildlife to flourish too.
For generations of children, Doonies has been their first contact with the countryside.
