| Summary |
"Aberdeenshire" by Alexander Mackie is a geographical account written in the early 20th century. This work serves as part of the Cambridge County Geographies series, offering a detailed exploration of the natural features, history, agriculture, and industries of Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Through its analysis, the text likely provides insights into both the physical landscape and the socio-economic aspects of the region. The opening of the book begins with a transcriber’s note outlining editorial conventions used in the publication. It then introduces the concept of "shire" and its interchangeable use with "county" in a Scottish context, specifically detailing the origin of Aberdeenshire and the significance of its chief town, Aberdeen. The text establishes the historical context of the county's boundaries and explores its rural character, focusing on the interplay of agriculture, geography, and local industry. This early content sets the stage for a comprehensive examination of Aberdeenshire's geography, highlighting the ongoing relationship between its people and the land they cultivate.
