Kintore is home to around 4,700 people in Aberdeenshire, a royal burgh old enough that its original market place is now buried under its own town hall.
A royal burgh since the ninth century
Kintore's roots as a royal burgh go back to the ninth century, with its royal charter renewed by King James IV in 1506. Archaeological digs around the town have turned up Neolithic finds dating back to at least 5000 BC, making it one of the longer continuously-occupied spots in the north-east.
The Earl who built over the market
The town's historic market place was where Kintore's Town House now stands. It was completed in 1747, paid for by John Keith, 3rd Earl of Kintore, after he was elected the town's Provost — a civic gift that replaced the open market square it sat on rather than standing beside it.
Why Kintore shoppers order online anyway
Kintore has grown quickly in recent years — by some counts the fastest-growing town in Aberdeenshire — but that growth hasn't brought a dedicated bulk or wholesale sweet shop with it. For vegan ranges, halal-friendly lines or party-sized orders, delivery is the more realistic route.
