Tradespeople in Chapelton, Aberdeenshire

About Chapelton

Chapelton is a new planned town in Aberdeenshire, situated between Stonehaven and Newtonhill on the coastal strip south of Aberdeen.

Designed as a self-contained community with its own town centre, schools and amenities, Chapelton is one of the largest new-build developments in the north-east, with thousands of homes planned across a range of styles and sizes.

The housing is modern and built to current energy standards, but the exposed coastal position and the demands of a growing community create ongoing work for local tradespeople - from landscaping and fencing to interior finishing and maintenance.

The town has good road links via the A92 to both Aberdeen and Stonehaven and sits close to the East Coast rail line.

About Aberdeenshire

(opens in new tab)

Aberdeenshire is one of the largest council areas in Scotland, wrapping around the city of Aberdeen in a broad arc that stretches from the Cairngorms in the west to the North Sea coast in the east and from the Angus border in the south to the Moray Firth in the north.

The region is extraordinarily varied: Royal Deeside - the valley of the River Dee running west from Aberdeen through Banchory, Aboyne, Ballater and Braemar - is one of Scotland's most celebrated landscapes, closely associated with the royal family through Balmoral Castle. The Donside valley to the north offers a quieter, equally attractive alternative.

The north-east coast has a distinctive character shaped by centuries of fishing, with harbours at Peterhead, Fraserburgh, Macduff and a string of smaller ports that once landed vast quantities of herring and white fish. Peterhead remains one of the busiest fishing ports in Europe and the coastal towns retain a strong working identity.

Inland, the rolling farmland of Buchan, the Garioch and the Mearns supports a productive agricultural economy. Market towns like Inverurie, Ellon, Huntly and Turriff serve as local centres for their surrounding districts and many have grown significantly as commuter settlements for Aberdeen.

The North Sea oil and gas industry transformed the region's economy from the 1970s onward, bringing prosperity and population growth to towns within commuting distance of Aberdeen. That legacy continues in the energy transition, with Aberdeenshire positioning itself at the centre of Scotland's renewable energy future.
