Local information

Chapelton has been thoughtfully designed and built to create a lasting, sustainable community for all who live there.

The town’s first neighbourhood, Cairnhill, enjoys sweeping sea views and comprises a mix of flats, terraced houses, detached and semi-detached houses, and large family homes. Established trees dot Cairnhill’s pretty high street, which will link the primary school to the west with the community building and park to the east. The existing tree-lined Greenlaw Road gives way to the charming Hume Square, with its characterful red phone box. Green space is plentiful in Chapelton, and a rich sense of place and community is fostered through tree planting days, summer BBQs and Christmas carol services.

A seamless intermingling of homes and businesses ensures that Chapelton offers desirable rural living alongside all the conveniences of a busy town. Several businesses are already popular and well-established, while plans for further shops, offices, schools and play areas are underway.

A considered approach to landscaping and the relationships between people and buildings within those landscapes has made Chapelton a vibrant place full of bright, open spaces and neighbourhood squares. A place, amidst the sweeping coastal views and fresh country air of Aberdeenshire, where people can live, work and play amongst neighbours and friends.
