Aboyne Jubilee Fountain

Mid Deeside Community Trust completed the community project to refurbish the Aboyne Jubilee Fountain in 2015, which had been out of operation for around sixty five years.

The structure of the fountain has been dismantled, cleaned and re-erected with a new water flow and electrical system. Other original detailed features, which had been missing for many years, have now been replaced

A new inset pavement lighting system has been installed, which not only illuminate the fountain, but includes the four main Millennium Gate pillars, which have also been cleaned.

The whole setting now gives a significant point of recognition, to Aboyne.

Mid Deeside Community Trust would like to express its particular appreciation of the sterling efforts of the local contractors involved, Stewart and Alister Urquhart, Stonemasons, Edward and Ian Smith, Water Services and Stuart Davidson, Electrical Services, as well as Duncan Robson, Architect.

Funding for the project was provided by members of the community, local businesses, Aboyne Games Committee and Aberdeenshire Council.

The work was originally planned to be completed for HM Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee, but unfortunately delays were encountered, as coincidently, was the original works, which were planned for Queen Victoria’s Jubilee in 1897, but not completed until 1904.

An official re-dedication of the fountain took place on 23^rd September 2015. Mid Deeside Community Trust continues to maintain the fountain.
