As a community school, Auchnagatt is the centre for our Playgroup, Rainbows, Brownies and Guide Packs. Secondary education is provided at Mintlaw and Ellon Academies, both some eight miles from the village. The Village Playingfield and Children's Playground are adjacent to the school, as is the Tennis Court and Public Toilets. Early closing day is Thursday. The Post Office, located near the Barons Hotel, is open Monday to Friday.
Visitors are welcome, and fishing tackle is available for hire.
To the north east of Auchnagatt on the B9030 road towards Stuartfield is Clochcan, another area of farms and crofts amid rolling agricultural land. The school at Clochcan closed in 1957 and, like that at Knaven, has since been converted to a dwelling house. Buchan Community Web.
