• Best Point: Road to Aberdeen (or Fishing if you're into that kind of thing).
• Bad Points: Not nearly enough good shops for the number of inhabitants and a bit on the suicidally boring side...
• Hi my name is Craig Turnbull, I used to live Ellon 12 years ago. I now live in Brisbane Australia. The good thing that I can remember about Ellon is the friendlyness of the people. There is lots to do such as golfing, fishing, shooting and general country site seeing. One of the main streets in Ellon, in Autumn is deep with colourful leaves and in winter is deep with snow. I have many memories of Ellon; all are good. There were two main primary schools at the time, Auchterellon and Ellon Primary. I would love to catch up with someone I know from this town or from Auchterellon primary. cturn@gil.com.au
  I also remember all red pudding and chips at the local chipper (Jack the chipper in those days). That is one thing I really do miss we dont get the same sort of food here in Australia.
  The anual raft race on Ythan river was also a great attraction and I understand still goes on today. Friends and I from Auchterellon school competed one year, I cant remember how we did but I can remember that we were all bloody cold.
