Aberdeenshire hosts some of the most breathtaking scenery Scotland has to offer and has a rich prehistoric and historic heritage. It is the location of a large number of Neolithic and Bronze Age archaeological sites, including Longman Hill, Kempstone Hill, Catto Long Barrow and Cairn Lee.
Interestingly, Aberdeenshire does not include Aberdeen City which is a Council Area in its own right. However, Aberdeenshire Council does have its headquarters at Woodhill House, in Aberdeen; the only Scottish council whose headquarters are based outside of the area's border. Aberdeenshire borders Angus and Perth and Kinross to the south, and Highland and Moray to the west
The present council area is named after the historic county of Aberdeen which had different boundaries and was abolished in 1975 to be replaced by Grampian Regional Council, and five district councils; Banff and Buchan, Gordon, Kincardine and Deeside, Moray and the City of Aberdeen, with local government functions shared between the two levels. In 1996 the Banff and Buchan district, the Gordon district and the Kincardine and Deeside district were merged to form the present Aberdeenshire council area, with the other two districts becoming autonomous council areas.
