How To Find Us
Whitecairns village lies approximately two miles North of Potterton on the B999.The village grew up around a hotel on the droving route to Aberdeen but although the hotel has been closed for some years the village continues to grow and has almost doubled in size in the last three years. The village lies to the west of the parish and enjoys a wonderful overland view as far as the coast.
Properties
Most of the properties in the Whitecairns area lie outwith the village itself. The area is mainly residential with a small number of working farms and a few other business premises.
Public Transport
The bus service is somewhat limited, particularly at weekends and most residents use private cars for transport.
Shops and Services
The nearest local shops and post offices are in Potterton or Newmachar. The primary school is at Balmedie and secondary school children are bussed to either Aberdeen or Ellon. The local doctors' surgery is in Bridge of Don but the practice also operates a surgery at Udny Station, which is closer. An alternative Medical Centre at Ellon is also used by some residents.
