Kincardineshire Archives and Libraries

For a list of archives and libraries on the national level, go to the Scotland Archives and Libraries page.

Kincardineshire lost its administrative status in 1975. The area of Nigg in the north of the county became part of the City of Aberdeen, and the remainder of the county became part of the Kincardine and Deeside district of the Grampian region. When the Grampian region was divided into unitary council areas in 1996, the district was absorbed into the Aberdeenshire council area. -
