Laurencekirk
Laurencekirk is a village in the historical region of Kincardineshire, Scotland, just off the A90 Dundee to Aberdeen highway, which bypassed it in 1985. It is provided as part of Aberdeenshire. It is the biggest negotiation in the Howe o' the Mearns location and also houses the neighborhood senior high school; Mearns Academy, which was awarded the Charter Mark in 2003. Its old name was Conveth, an anglification of the Gaelic Coinmheadh, referring to an obligation to provide cost-free food and also board to passing troops. Laurencekirk is in the valley between the Hill of Garvock and the Cairn O' Mount. The well-known landmark of the Johnston Tower can be seen on the top of the Garvock. Laurencekirk was, in the past, understood for making snuff boxes with a special sort of impermeable joint (known as a "Laurencekirk hinge") designed by James Sandy. Laurencekirk Golf Club (currently inoperative) initially appeared in the early 1900s. The club closed at the time of WW2. Lewis Grassic Gibbon wrote much regarding The Mearns and the bordering area in his book Sunset Song. A tribute centre can be visited at Arbuthnott a couple of miles from Laurencekirk. Fred Urquhart worked with the land at Laurencekirk in the Second World War, and his narratives make use of his observations of rural life below.
