I’m sorry to see that Newtonhill Pipe Band is no more. They have changed their name to Dunnottar Pipes and Drums.

Announcing the change this morning, the pipe band said: “Originally named Craigmarroinn Pipe Band and practising in Muchalls, the band changed its name when it moved its practices to Newtonhill. Now, having a strong association with Stonehaven and district due to active participation at local events, the band is enhancing these connections through the name change.”

Oh well, it was good while it lasted, and spread the name of our village far and wide. Thank you for that, and best wishes for the future.
