Not a very good colour on this, but this is a building I love. It is the Rannes Public Hall, in Kennethmont. Built in 1909 it is an almost exact replica of Leith Hall, at the end of the village. There seems to have been an urge for local landowners to create public buildings in the form of their own homes...
This mini-me always gives me a smile as I drive to the Hall though. An interesting Feature is the horizontal plank fixed to the roof. This is to stop a sudden load of snow dropping on people going through the door. The weather is very bad as you head up into the Aberdeenshire hills.
