Peterculter
Aberdeen CityA large village of Aberdeen City, Peterculter (pronounced 'Petercooter') situated on the A93 road, 8 miles (13 km) southwest of Aberdeen city centre, to the north of the River Dee where it is joined by the Culter Burn. Developed around a paper mill established in 1751 but now largely a commuter settlement for Aberdeen, its parish church was originally dedicated to St Peter. Nearby is Culter House which is associated with the Cumming and Duff families, and overlooking the main street of the village is a statue of Rob Roy.
