Sweets in Rhynie: The Corner Shop, and the Craw Stane

Rhynie is a small Aberdeenshire village of a few hundred people, roughly nine miles south of Huntly, built around a church, a primary school and one village shop.

The Corner Shop & Post Office

The Corner Shop & Post Office on Main Street is Rhynie's local shop — a general store rather than a specialist, serving a village where a bigger shopping trip usually means the drive to Huntly.

The Craw Stane and Tap o' Noth

Rhynie's real claim to fame isn't retail. The Craw Stane, a Pictish symbol stone on a hillside at the edge of the village, marks the site of a high-status early medieval settlement excavated by archaeologists from Aberdeen and Chester between 2011 and 2017 — finds included fragments of Roman amphora imported from the Mediterranean. Above the village, the hillfort of Tap o' Noth has recently been shown, through drone and laser survey, to have held hundreds of hut platforms, with a population that may have run into the thousands in the fifth and sixth centuries AD. The place-name Rhynie itself is thought to come from an early Celtic word for king.

No sweet shop, and we won't invent one

A village this size doesn't have a dedicated sweet shop, and we're not going to pretend otherwise. The Corner Shop covers everyday essentials; for anything more — a party bag order, a bulk tub, a specific dietary range — there isn't a local alternative.

Why delivery is the practical route
