Laurencekirk is a small town in the historical county of Kincardineshire, Scotland, simply off the A90 Dundee to Aberdeen highway, which bypassed it in 1985. It is administered as part of Aberdeenshire. It is the largest negotiation in the Howe o’ the Mearns location and also houses the regional senior high school; Mearns Academy, which was awarded the Charter Mark in 2003. Its old name was Conveth, an anglification of the Gaelic Coinmheadh, describing an obligation to offer cost-free food and board to passing troops. Laurencekirk is in the valley in between the Hill of Garvock and the Cairn O’ Mount. The famous spots of the Johnston Tower can be seen on the optimal of the Garvock. Laurencekirk was, in the past, recognized for making snuff boxes with an unique type of impermeable hinge (called a “Laurencekirk joint”) created by James Sandy. Laurencekirk Golf Club (now obsolete) initially showed up in the very early 1900s. The club closed at the time of WW2. Lewis Grassic Gibbon wrote much about The Mearns and also the surrounding location in his book Sunset Song. A tribute centre can be visited at Arbuthnott a couple of miles from Laurencekirk. Fred Urquhart worked on the land at Laurencekirk in the 2nd World War, as well as his short stories take advantage of his observations of country life below.
