Each year, on the second weekend in July, Stonehaven host a Folk Festival at local venues such as the Town Hall, St Bridget’s Hall, British Legion, Market Square, Open Air Pool and various Hotels in the town. Throughout the years, since 1989, the Stonehaven Folk Festival has attracted some top folk singers, folk bands and groups. In addition to live performances visitors can attend workshops to learn musical instruments such as the fiddle and can even take part in the paper and comb championships or watch fun events like the aqua ceilidh.

I have published a book which tells the story of an Aberdonian military nurse who returns from Afghanistan and encounters The Grey Lady Ghost of the Cambridge Military Hospital. The novel reveals her origins and takes him to a pre-war Duthie Park, modern day Cruden Bay and back to the past to the Battle of Loos in World War One where he witnesses the Gordon Highlanders in action. This is the first in the series of Grey and Scarlet Novels by me, CG Buswell, and each book will feature a well known Aberdeen ghost and Aberdeenshire area as well as modern Scottish Infantry in action. Read the first chapter for free.
