The modern council area was created in 1996, combining the territories of historic Aberdeenshire and Kincardineshire while excluding Aberdeen City. Aberdeenshire Council is uniquely headquartered on the outskirts of Aberdeen, making it the only Scottish council whose headquarters lie outside its own boundaries.

You are situated in an area where history abounds, with deep roots stretching back to the Celtic tribes called the Taixali and the subsequent northern Picts. Christianity established early monasteries at Old Deer and Monymusk before Aberdeen itself received its first mention in the 12th century. The area retains a connection to a region famous as Scotland's Castle Country, home to over 260 castles and numerous archaeological remains from the Iron Age. Daily life here is characterised by a blend of rural tranquility and access to the wider infrastructure of the county. The modern council area of Aberdeenshire offers a unique living environment where the past meets the present under the governance of a council based away from its primary population centre.
