This listed building was the original village school and among its later uses became a shoemaker's shop. It was dismantled stone by stone in 1991, each stone being carefully numbered, and completely rebuilt to re-open in early 1992. It is open seven days a week from March to October for meals and snacks. Bus parties can be catered for by arrangement. Our bowling green was laid out in the early eighties on the site of the old tennis courts and has a clubhouse which caters for indoor bowling.
Knowledgeable bowlers know it as one of the best greens in the north east.
John Smith founded his family business in 1903, starting off by baking and selling his own products. The business expanded over the years and the third generation of Smiths have thriving factories in New Pitsligo and Aberdeen, along with excellent retail shops selling their quality products including their renowned butter biscuits and oatcakes. The village is well served by numerous other businesses and retail oulets. We have three licensed hotels plus the Royal British Legion club, and two banks. An incredible range of active voluntary organisations and groups is sustained by the relatively small number of people resident within our Community Council area.
