The Future of Doonies Farm - Scotland's largest collection of rare breeds and also an important green space, educational centre, tourist attraction and environmentally friendly use of coastal lands – hangs in the balance.  On 25 June the full Aberdeen Council will vote on whether or not to allow the newly-formed group, Friends of Doonies, to implement its business plan and take over the running of the farm.  Crucial to the farm’s continued existence is the identification of potential sponsors and donors – and in this regard we seek your help.

We are a group of residents that have formed a group, a small group as some may call us. The reasons that we went ahead are so the residents of Torry can have a say in the regeneration of the community, after all they have to live here.
We would like to have the residents input, so if any residents have anything that they would like to contribute or if you would like to come along to the meetings you can get in touch with the secretary.

 Would anyone remember the Kavanagh Family formerly of 11 Balnagask Road Torry. I am searching for any old friends from that era, we migrated to Brisbane Australia in April 1965. My father was Daniel (danny) and my ma's name was Violet. My brother is Michael and my sister is Frances. I remember the Essen Family and my cousins were the Riddle Family. Can anyone help? Know the name Creighton Stirton (not sure of spelling) was either a relative or a very good friend.
