Aberdeenshire Council

The success or otherwise of the 1975 reorganisation may be reflected in the fact that within twenty-one years yet another change was implemented. This created subdivided single-tier authorities and Aberchirder found itself in the North Area of Aberdeenshire (the name given to what was roughly the previous Grampian Region). The ancient county of Banffshire, where Foggieloan had been founded over two centuries before, thus disappeared from the political map if not the hearts of its inhabitants.
