Hi Sandra
I live very near there indeed. I hope you find it easily but if you need any help send me a private message. I've a record of some families in the area in my house and when I have a chance will see if any of yours are mentioned.
Anne
PS There is a B&B almost next door to there as far as I know. Don't know if it's any good.

Rashiebottom
Hi Sandra
I picked up your thread, very much by chance.
I have a friend in the area who lives in a house called Rashieburn, which used to be called Rashiebottom. She's been told that there used to be a house (on a hill) about half a mile from her called Rashiebottom which probably no longer exists as it doesn't appear on OS maps. She is happy for me to send you her e-mail address and she will ask some of her older neighbours if they know anything about the "other" Rashiebottom.
When you visit the area the local family history society in Aberdeen is well worth a visit.

They are hosting a national family history conference in Aberdeen on April 25th
Best wishes

Re Rashieburn
Hi Carolyn - thanks, I would love to have your friends email address and find out if she has any more info on Rashiebottom(although on an old Aberdeen map it is called Rushybottom). Is your friends place near the Keithhall area.

Hi again Carolyn
just had a look at the photo link from Wilma(thanks Wilma)of Rashiburn and there was also a small area map below it. On this map Rashieburn is below Tillkerry, however on the Old Aberdeen map Rushybottom is above Tillkerry - so I'm thinking that the old house that used to be on the hill above your friend's place may have been the one or close to it.
will look fwd to hearing more.

Hi
Alan-yes you have the right area.
Sandra, I am visiting my friend at Rashieburn (previously Rashiebottom!) at the end of the month.
Hopefully she will have managed to get more info about the history of her house and of Rushybottom/Rashiebottom which may no longer exist. I will try to find the site of the latter and send some photos.
Are you on Skype with a webcam- I could show you some views around my friend's house and you could talk to her face to face?
Best wishes

Hello Sandra and Carolyn,
On the aerial photograph I posted, near Nether Crimond, there’s a yellow B993 label and a track proceeding approximately south from that. It crosses another track near a large farm building then continues south until it makes a sharp turn to the west before turning again to continue south. Shielbog and Dykenook, the next households on the 1851 at FreeCen appear to be where the sharp turn is and the place just to the south west with the white roof could be Crownhead, the place Annette mentioned before from the other map that looked likely to be very close. When you compare the map contours on the old and new maps Crownhead seems to almost mark the spot.
Rushybottom and Crownhead, as they appear on the maps, seem to me to be about 1km north of Tillykerrie but on the same hilltop which forms the northernmost point of a ridge or area of high ground which extends in a south easterly direction therefrom.
Unless I’m holding the map upside down, but anyway that's how it seems to me.
All the best,
Alan
