Description

** SALE BY AUCTION - 10 September 2026 - Timed Online Auction **

Portlethen is a town located approximately 7 miles south of Aberdeen, along the A92. The population according to the 2022 census was 8,969 making it the seventh most populous settlement within Aberdeenshire. The town is more like a suburb of Aberdeen, with access to the city within a short drive or by public transport. The town has a fascinating history. It sits east of Causey Mouth road where it was once the only route from the south to Aberdeen. It connected the Bridge of Dee with Muchalls Castle and nearby Stonehaven, located seven miles away. Also, James Graham 1st Marquess of Montrose and William Keith, 7th Earl Marischal led a Covenanter 9000-strong army to the first battle of the Civil War in 1639.
