Talk:Banchory

Latest comment: 3 years ago by CiphriusKane in topic Copyright problem removed

The writing quality of this article seems quite poor. I have flagged it for clean up.

I belive the factual accuracy of part of the article may also be in doubt. S.Skinner 00:20, 27 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

I used to live in Banchory and can attest that the article is basically correct. Its main weakness is that it has little or no history in it. Banchory is a town which basically did not exist before the building of the Deeside railway in the 19th century. So I think more should have been written about its foundation and growth through the 19th and 20th centuries. -- Derek Ross | Talk 05:10, 21 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Banchory Ternan has written records dating to the 14th century when the surrounding land was given to Alexander de Burnard by King Robert the Bruce. There is speculation that the settlement was founded by the Celtic Bishop Ternan in the 5th century when he founded a religious college - ban chor. The 19th century extension of the village to the west was early property speculation along the length of the newly formed pike (toll)road. The arrival of the railway in 1863 ensured further development of the village into a tourism and commuter town. 80.41.199.66 17:28, 29 December 2006 (UTC) 80.41.199.66 17:27, 29 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

I strongly suspect most of the section "Tourism and Culture" is a copyright violation, but am unable to locate the original source CiphriusKane (talk) 06:56, 26 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
