Exercise buddies wanted

kangakat on July 20, 2010 - 11:36am

I've noticed the new gym equipment installed at the park and have used it on several occasions.  Its great fun exercising in the fresh air but a bit lonely on your own and it lacks motivation.

I wondered if there was anyone out there interested in meeting at the park for outdoor exercise sessions to help motivate each other. I'm no athlete but looking for like minded people interested in getting fitter and making an 'unofficial' exercise group at the park. Or even better if there is anyone out there would like to hold an 'official' bootcamp style class in the park, I'm sure you would get a few attendees.  They run them in Aberdeen but none locally.

Gray Family

We are planning a visit to Scotland and would like to combine some genealogy research along with sight seeing.

Alexander Gray married Helen Cassie in Kemnay 31 Dec 1857. Shortly thereafter the couple emigrated to the United States. We are trying to find out where Alexander was born. Are there any records in Kemnay? Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Middletons of Kemnay

Peter middleton on December 14, 2009 - 1:28pm

Hi,I wondered if anyone had any information on the Middletons in and around Kemnay.

I was in Kemnay in September and met a very nice lady at the Church.I asked if it was ok to take some photos some of the graves of the Middletons.She actually took the time to introduce me to her husband who knew some of the history of the Middletons from the area. Unfortunately my trip was done in a bit of a rush and I didnt have much info with me at the time, so wasnt much help to him in trying to fathem out which of the two Middleton families i was descended from. You may know who I am talking about, but unfortunately I have forgotten their name, but he stays across the road from the garage on the main road through the town towards Inverurie.

Noctilucent Clouds from Kemnay 17-18 June 2009

Noctilucent clouds are a rare phenomenon, seen only in high latitudes around the time of the longest day. They are quite different from normal clouds, being formed in a far higher layer. Not only do they glow in the twilit sky but they often adopt weird and interesting patterns of streak and ripples.

Book Description

 Based on contemporary archive materials and personal accounts, Brian Osborne examines the human story of the Home Guard in Scotland and the impact that this remarkable organisation had on society and on those that became involved with it. The Home Guard, and its forerunner the Local Defence Volunteers, was genuinely a 'people's army' with its own ethos, character and political influence. At its peak nearly 2 million men were enrolled, trained and served without pay in their own time and, usually, after a full day's work at the civilian occupation. The Home Guard played a vital part in the defence of the country from 1940-1944, but despite its significance the story of the Home Guard in Scotland has never before been fully told - from Shetland to Galloway, Scottish Home Guardsmen fulfilled a wide range of roles far beyond the popular image of the 'Dad's Army' of general service infantry battalions. Horseback patrols in the Borders, armoured trains, anti-aircraft gunners at factories throughout Scotland, anti-aircraft rocket batteries from Aberdeen to Greenock all saw the Home Guard actively engaged in the national struggle.
