Kinmuck

Kinmuck is a small village in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It is located approximately 4 miles (6.4 km) north-west of Inverurie. Historically part of the parish of Keithhall and Kinkell, it is situated in a rural agricultural area.

The name "Kinmuck" is of Gaelic origin, likely derived from "Ceann Muic," meaning "pig's head" or "headland of the pig." However, alternative etymological suggestions exist, often relating to the shape of the land or specific historical events.

The village primarily consists of scattered farms and houses. There is a community hall that serves as a focal point for local events and gatherings. The surrounding area is characterised by rolling hills and farmland. Local amenities are limited, with residents typically travelling to nearby towns such as Inverurie or Kintore for shopping and services. The economy is largely based on agriculture and related industries.

While lacking major tourist attractions, Kinmuck provides a quiet, rural setting appealing to those seeking a peaceful lifestyle or exploring the Aberdeenshire countryside. Information regarding local history can often be found in local libraries and archives in Inverurie and Aberdeen.
