I spend most of my time at home wandering about with the wee man around historical sites, this time home I was at Aikey Brae, Crovie, Bass of Inverurie, Loanhead of Daviot, Easter Aquorthies, Fyvie, Slains Castle. The wee man loves it and so do I but id love to know more about the history all through the ages. Battles especially, like Harlaw, Inverurie, Barra,Lumphanan and also more on the Picts

Any help would be much appreciated
There is a book called Hidden Aberdeenshire, maybe worth a try.

Did you go visit the old Abbey when you were near Old Deer? Its not too far from the stones at Aikey Brae. Its obviously a ruin, but fascinating nonetheless. Within nearby Aden Park, there is also a museum with history on the Abbey and some really interesting info on the "book of Deer".
